Web, Interactive, Game Designers - Creative Judgement

TasteMakers is a curated network of designers, creative technologists, frontend engineers, and AI-native makers working on projects with leading AI labs, tech companies, and brands. Our work sits at the intersection of design, human judgment, and AI research. We’re building a long-term community of designers, creative technologists, engineers, researchers, and AI-native makers helping frontier AI systems better understand taste, aesthetics, usability, and creative quality.

About the role

We are seeking experienced Junior & Senior Interactive Web & Game Designers who are professionally trained with a degree in Interactive Design, Advertising Design, BFA, or similar. Ideal candidates understand not just how to execute, but why certain creative choices resonate. You should have hands-on experience in design execution, art direction, creative direction, and providing verbal and written feedback to fellow creatives or clients.

Responsibilities

• Provide design feedback in a professional setting, including creative direction and design reviews.
• Structure feedback that is specific, grounded in design principles, and actionable.
• Conduct structured high-level design critiques (e.g., leading critiques evaluating work against clear standards or contributing to research systems or design quality frameworks).
• Mentor designers and guide creative decisions through team critiques.
• Critique and evaluate assets through structured reviews, QA, and clear reasoning to teach models how to judge quality.
• Vote and rank preference data to compare outputs and train models on what "great" looks like.
• Design and build frontend applications, from UI and prototypes to polished, production-ready apps.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional design experience.
• Strong eye across traditional design disciplines: Interactive Web Design, Web Apps, Product & Gaming.
• Experience giving design feedback in a professional setting.
• Extensive experience conducting structured high-level design critique.
• Professionally trained with a degree in Interactive Design, Advertising Design, BFA, or similar.

Benefits

• Remote-first — work from anywhere.
• Creative Community — access to TasteMakers, a global online community of creative technologists for collaboration and networking.
• Flexible engagement — freelance/consultant role with 15-40 hrs/week, async work, and deliverable-based scheduling.
• Highly competitive rates — determined by project execution, expertise, experience, and location (typically $45–$80/hr for U.S.-based mid to senior-level designers).
• Interesting, cutting-edge work — design systems, creative tooling, AI evaluation, frontend applications, visual generation, and interaction design.
