UX/UI Designer- Figma
About Us
At Sparkling Jewelry Inc., we’re redefining how businesses buy diamonds and jewelry with a website that merges beauty, function, and ease. As a woman-owned, minority-owned company, we prioritize innovation and sustainability, and we’re building a platform that reflects these values while meeting the complex needs of the B2B wholesale market.
This is a hands-on opportunity to take part in shaping a highly functional, luxury platform that will directly impact the way businesses interact with our products. We are seeking an intuitive thinker and skilled designer to help refine and translate our vision into a live, functional site through Figma.
The Role
Work alongside our team to design and prototype a multi-page website that combines B2C-style ease with the robust tools needed for B2B operations. Much of the site’s structure and features have been outlined, but there’s plenty of room for creativity and innovation. You’ll collaborate closely with decision-makers, translating existing ideas into interactive prototypes while contributing new solutions to optimize usability.
If this collaboration works well, there’s potential to work with us long-term as the platform evolves and expands based on user data and feedback.
