About Heirloom

Heirloom helps families rescue, organize, and enjoy their most meaningful memories—digitizing tapes, film, and photos into a private, secure home for stories. We’re building delightful mobile and web experiences that make sharing memories simple, safe, and emotionally resonant.

The Role

We’re looking for a product-minded UI / UX Designer with deep Figma expertise to own end-to-end design for both mobile (iOS / Android) and web. You’ll shape flows (onboarding, upload, sharing, viewing, billing), craft a modern design system, and partner closely with product, engineering, and leadership.

What You’ll Do

Design end-to-end product experiences for mobile and web : flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, and clickable prototypes in Figma.

Build and maintain a design system (components, variants, auto-layout, tokens) for speed and consistency.

Prototype and validate : run quick tests, incorporate feedback, and iterate with data.

Partner with engineering : deliver clean specs via Figma Dev Mode, redlines, and handoff notes; support implementation and QA.

Elevate accessibility (contrast, type, color, motion, focus states) and responsive behavior.

Tell the story : document decisions, present work to stakeholders, and advocate for the customer.

What You’ll Bring

2–6+ years designing mobile and web apps in Figma (agency or product).

A strong portfolio with at least one mobile app and one web app case study showing problem framing, options explored, and final impact.

Mastery of Figma : components / variants, auto-layout, variables / tokens, interactive prototypes, FigJam.

Solid grasp of product thinking (prioritizing flows that move core KPIs like activation, upload success, sharing).

Experience collaborating with engineers (design specs, dev handoff, feasibility).

Working knowledge of platform patterns (iOS Human Interface Guidelines, Material Design) and responsive web.

Care for accessibility and performance-aware design.

Nice to Have

Familiarity with media management UX (galleries, viewers, timelines, reels).

Comfort with design tokens / theming and basic front-end concepts (Tailwind / CSS, React patterns).

Experience in consumer subscriptions, onboarding, and payments.

Interest in privacy-first and trust-centric design.

How We Work

Flexible hours with core overlap for collaboration.

Remote-friendly, with preference for hybrid collaboration in Charleston, SC (work sessions with leadership, user tests, occasional shoots).

We welcome contractors, part-time, or full-time; contract-to-hire is an option. Equity available for the right fit.
