UX/UI Designer to save charity itself!

Join us as a volunteer UX/UI Designer, and help shape a circular fashion platform for charity. Use Figma to bring the vision to the pitching room, to users, and to life.

What difference will you make?

As a volunteer UX/UI Designer at cherry, your work will have a direct and visible impact on a platform that empowers people to give back through fashion.

You’ll be shaping how users experience purpose-driven, circular giving.

You will help save charity itself from digitalisation.

Your designs will help simplify the process of donating and buying pre-loved clothing, making it accessible, intuitive, and beautiful; reflecting our mission.

By refining user flows and creating reusable components, you’ll ensure that every journey, whether it’s listing or buying an item, supports a great cause!

You’ll also help define and evolve Cherry’s visual language, playing a key role in how our brand is perceived and experienced.

Your contribution will make it easier for people to choose giving over waste, support charities (particularly smaller ones), counter fast fashion, and protect the environment!

You will help by giving us a polished, professional face to share with stakeholders and grantors, as a great user experience supports our goals for trust, traction, and impact.

In short, your work will help raise vital funds for charities through making donations to them more digitally accessible, reduce fashion waste and production, supporting the environment and building something beautiful.

We can’t wait to build it with you.

What are we looking for?

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You

• Have experience using Figma to create mobile-first designs, and Framer for eye catching, message speaking sites
• Enjoy crafting clean, user-friendly interfaces
• Are collaborative, proactive, and excited by purposeful work
  
  

We hope you are willing to join our mission to promote ethical fashion, save the environment through a circular economy, creating real tech-for-good solutions, and save charity itself from digitalisation.

Your impact as a UX/UI Designer will be both practical and meaningful. You’ll shape the experience of a platform that helps people turn their clothes into charitable donations.

By designing smooth, intuitive user journeys, you’ll remove friction and make giving back feel rewarding, personal and accessible.

Your work will help users easily list items, find causes they care about, and complete purchases with confidence and joy.

Creating consistent, reusable components in Figma/ Framer will strengthen our design system and bring coherence across the app. This clarity will help us move faster, reduce development time, and create a scalable, professional experience.

Your designs will also directly support Cherry’s ability to attract funding and partnerships, offering a polished product vision we can proudly share with stakeholders.

Ultimately, you’ll help raise money for charities, support environmental sustainability, and empower people to give in style!

Your work won’t just look good, it will contribute to our fundamentally vital goals.

We’re still in the early stages. We're lean, passionate, and building towards something that could make a genuine (and VERY big) difference, but are on a strict budget, currently.

If you want to make a real difference for good, have your work matter, for it to not only be future proof, but future forming, we’d love to hear from you!
