Funkhaus

Seeks a Senior Designer

Los Angeles, LA

Funkhaus is a digital creative agency building brands and websites for culture-shaping clients across hospitality, architecture, entertainment, and beyond. We’re a team of multi-instrumentalists who care deeply about design, craft, and pushing our work forward in thoughtful, meaningful ways.

We’re looking for a Senior Designer who truly lives design — someone who’s always researching, collecting references, exploring new ideas, and bringing a sharp point of view to both brand and digital work. You’ll help shape identities, build visual systems, design intuitive interfaces, and bring brand worlds to life across multiple mediums.

This role sits at the center of our creative team. You’ll partner closely with the Creative Director to lead projects, elevate the work, mentor designers, and contribute to the standards, culture, and direction of the studio. It’s a hands-on leadership role where your craft, curiosity, and attitude will have a real impact on the agency.

If you want a long-term home where you can grow, push the work, and be part of a supportive, collaborative team, you’ll fit right in.


What You’ll Do

  • Break down complex brand and digital briefs into structured, actionable plans in partnership with the Managing Director/producer team

  • Lead brand design projects from early concept to final delivery

  • Lead website design projects across UX and UI, from wireframes to handoff

  • Create bold, intuitive, brand-forward digital experiences

  • Build and maintain UI systems and scalable design libraries

  • Present work clearly and confidently to clients and internal teams

  • Collaborate closely with developers for smooth handoff and production

  • Contribute to creative strategy, naming, storytelling, and visual direction

  • Provide guidance and feedback to mid-weight designers and freelancers

  • Jump into pitches, workshops, and internal R&D projects as needed


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of digital design experience in a creative studio or similar environment

  • A portfolio that shows clean UI, thoughtful UX, strong typography design, and elevated brand sensibility

  • High Proficiency Figma skills and comfort working inside complex components and systems

  • High proficiency across Adobe CC; motion (After Effects or similar) is a big plus

  • An instinct for experimenting with new tools, techniques, and workflows in service of better, more inventive design

  • A curiosity for AI tinkering and image generation

  • Experience designing responsive interfaces and understanding accessibility best practices

  • Ability to juggle multiple projects, stay organized, and deliver on deadlines

  • Someone who values communication, low ego, curiosity, and being part of a supportive team

  • A designer who cares about craft — the pixels, the pacing, the storytelling, the details

  • A long-term mindset: you want a home base, a crew, a place to grow


Nice-to-Haves

  • Motion, animation, micro-interaction design

  • Interest in Webflow or front-end principles

  • Writing instincts (conceptual thinking, naming, presentation decks)

  • Print production and supervision experience or interest


Perks

  • Competitive compensation, healthcare, and non-matching 401k

  • Hybrid schedule with an Arts District studio surrounded by great food and coffee

  • Summer Fridays year-round

  • Guaranteed three-day weekend every month

  • 4 weeks paid vacation per year

  • A chance to challenge yourself creatively alongside a supportive team, learn from experienced mentors, and be an important part of a vibrant creative studio that values entrepreneurial thinking

The Fine Print

  • We have a hybrid in-office/at-home schedule, with an average of 3 days a week in our DTLA Arts District studio

  • Applicants must be legally eligible to work in the United States — no visa sponsorship is available

  • Applicants must reside in Los Angeles; we do not cover relocation

  • International candidates must hold a valid US working permit

  • Full-time — Los Angeles (Hybrid)

  • $95,000–$110,000 depending on experience

Funkhaus is committed to creating an inclusive environment where every team member has the opportunity to do their best work
