Trendy Shopify Designer for Korean Skincare Brand (Must Understand MZ Aesthetic)
Hi! I’m Jun, a Korean-American entrepreneur based in NYC. I’m launching a Korean Skincare Pharmacy retail concept in NYC and preparing multiple Shopify websites to support the brand. I’m looking for a design-savvy, culturally fluent creative who lives and breathes digital aesthetics and modern trends—especially in the beauty, skincare, and lifestyle space. You must: - Have great taste and be plugged into style, social media, and youth culture - Be active on your own Instagram, TikTok, or other SNS so I can see your design sense and aesthetic direction - Understand the K-beauty and Gen Z/Millennial aesthetic (minimalism, tone-on-tone colorways, elegance with edge) - Not just a developer—you should understand visual trends and creative branding, not just code If you’re someone who’s disconnected from current style, social media, or modern design culture, this won’t be a fit. I’m not looking for generic agency work or offshore devs without design instinct. Projects: 1. Skincare Brand Website (Shopify) - Start from scratch with high-quality AI-generated mockups (no product yet) - Build a digital-first brand identity that’s trend-forward, clean, and emotionally resonant - Reference: modern Korean brands like Hince, Glow Recipe 2. K-Beauty Ecommerce Clone (Shopify) - Clone an existing Korean beauty site with smart design improvements - Features like bilingual UX (Spanish, English), mobile-first UI, clean product organization Skills Needed: - Shopify web design/development - AI product mockup generation (e.g. Midjourney, Leonardo AI, DALL·E, Nano banana, Whisk, etc ) - Branding with emotional and aesthetic impact - UX/UI for beauty or lifestyle consumers (especially Gen Z) - Spanish/English bilingual content design (site structure, labels, buttons, banners, etc.) - BONUS: Bilingual web builds, SEO, content strategy, motion design To Apply, Please Include: Portfolio (must show visually strong projects—not just functioning stores) Your Instagram/TikTok/SNS handles Your favorite skincare or beauty brands What AI tools you use for design/mockups Estimated rate & timeline for 1 Shopify site
