As our Lead UI/UX Designer, you’ll be responsible for defining and delivering the digital experience for Right to Live Canada—one of the country’s most promising new nonprofits dedicated to defending the dignity and survival of Canadians with disabilities. You will create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs using Figma, while working closely with a small team of developers and content leads to translate vision into powerful public-facing pages. You’ll establish and evolve our brand design system, optimize user flows for donations and memberships, and help shape the emotional resonance of our mission through clean, accessible, and engaging design. You’ll also mentor any junior designers who join the team, helping ensure visual and functional consistency across our platform.
