We are a small enthusiastic team building beauty, ecology and profitability, one farm at a time.
We have developed two apps that empower independent farmers to monitor their soil health and manage their fruit farms/vineyards. Our tech was developed on two of the co-founder’s farm in Chile and we now work with independent farmers in the UK, US, Portugal, Peru and Chile.
Both apps have an online platform as well as a corresponding phone app. We have ongoing UX/UI needs as we develop both apps, both the mobile and web apps. You can find details of the apps and what we do here: https://tech.vidacycle.com/
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for a UX/UI freelancer on an ongoing project-by-project basis.
We are always updating our apps, adding new functionality making sure they support ecological and profitable farming methods. For new functionality we need you to create wireframes and basic prototypes (you do not need to write code). We also have some deeper UX investigations requiring you to suggest new functionality and direction.
We are a small team and our customer base is growing, so we need UX support on average 2 weeks/month (this gives us time to implement and support updates). We can be flexible on how we split that time to work around any other projects you may have.
We would ask you work from the office in Shoreditch High St/Liverpool St (London) where possible.
We hope this will be the beginning of a longer-term working relationship as we continually develop new features.
