Who We Are Contravent is a creative partner that helps brands tell their stories through technology, design, and experiences. We collaborate with some of the world's best brands to create activations and digital touchpoints that matter — the kind that spark emotion, build community, and deliver measurable impact. Unlike traditional sponsorships or one-off campaigns, we design experiences that are both real and digital, drawing from our background in live entertainment, media, and events. We focus on bringing people together while expanding digital reach. For us, analog to digital is the way forward. Why It Matters The experiences we design do more than look good — they work. They:

• Create emotional resonance and reverberance
• Engage multiple senses for a deeper brand connection
• Spark organic content and word of mouth
• Build trust through interaction
• Generate first-party data
• Drive stronger purchase intent

This is how we help brands build lasting communities and measurable results. The Opportunity We're building our roster of freelance UX talent — from UX Strategists who can map journeys and shape experience strategy, to UX Designers who can bring those strategies to life with wireframes, prototypes, and elegant, user-centered design. Whether you're early in your career or a seasoned expert, we want to collaborate with people who are passionate about creating experiences that resonate and deliver results. As a freelancer with Contravent, you'll have the flexibility to take on projects that align with your skills and interests while working alongside our strategists, designers, and developers.

• Create wireframes, sitemaps, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups.
• Collaborate with clients and internal teams to align business, creative, and technical goals.
• Lead or contribute to UX across client projects, depending on level.
