Senior Product Designer (Freelancer) – Design System Creation

At Planet of the Vapes

At Planet of the Vapes, we’re in business to provide the experience cannabis users deserve. Happier. Healthier. Elevated in every way.

We are the leading third-party retailer in our space and have grown into a product hardware brand as well. By leveraging our knowledge of the customer, technology, and supply chain—and by cutting out retailers, distributors, and advertising spend—we are able to get market-leading products to customers at half the price of our competition. This creates value for our customers, progresses our mission, and builds a disruptive brand and business model.

This is a direct-to-consumer model. For our latest vaporizer, we received 2,000 customer survey responses to inform the problems we needed to solve and 3,000 responses to help us name the product.

This is a project-based role where you will be assigned specific tasks and expected to work independently while meeting deadlines and delivering on time. The project duration is 6 months, with flexibility to manage your own schedule. If for any reason the timeline needs to be extended, you will be notified one month in advance

In order to achieve our goals, we are actively seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead the creation of a comprehensive design system.

What You Will Do

  • Define, design, and document a cohesive design system, including reusable UI components, typography, color palettes, grid systems, and interaction patterns.

  • Collaborate closely with developers, stakeholders, and team members to ensure the design system aligns with product requirements and brand identity.

  • Establish and implement accessibility standards that comply with industry best practices (e.g., WCAG).

  • Create a scalable framework for design tokens (e.g., colors, typography, spacing) to ensure consistency and seamless integration with development frameworks.

  • Provide detailed, clear documentation to support adoption of the design system across teams.

  • Continuously iterate and improve the design system based on feedback, evolving business needs, and user insights.

What You Have

  • Proven experience in creating and implementing scalable design systems, demonstrated through a portfolio of relevant work.

  • Strong proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD, with a focus on creating and managing design components and systems.

  • Expertise in UX/UI principles, responsive design, and accessibility standards.

  • Experience in defining and managing design tokens to ensure scalability and consistency across products.

  • A solid understanding of front-end development, including HTML, to effectively bridge the gap between design and development.

  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and present ideas clearly.

  • A passion for user-centered design and the ability to solve complex problems with elegant solutions.
