Product Designer, Studio

Role overview

Hook is seeking a Product Designer (Studio) to lead the Studio/Creator experience and contribute across the broader product as needed. This is the company’s most complex and differentiated surface: a creation workspace where creators make content using licensed music, video clips, and AI-powered tools.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive design for the Creator/Studio Platform across mobile and web.
• Design end-to-end creation workflows, from first-time use through advanced editing and publishing.
• Balance simplicity and creative power for both casual creators and advanced/power users.
• Translate product goals and user insights into clear, high-quality design solutions.
• Explore multiple design directions, prototype quickly, and iterate using feedback and data.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to shape solutions and ensure strong execution.
• Deepen interaction design and craft to elevate experience.
• Ensure consistency and cohesion across surfaces, contributing to a shared design system.
• Support adjacent areas, including cross-platform journeys and partner-facing tools for labels and artists.

Requirements

• 4–7 years of product design experience (ideally consumer or prosumer), with experience in complex workflows or creative tools (video/audio/design/AI tools).
• Strong product thinking: identify the right problems and drive solutions end-to-end.
• Experience designing complex workflows/tools (e.g., creative editors, marketplaces, multi-step flows).
• Excellent interaction design and attention to detail in complex, high-frequency flows.
• Proven ability to design across mobile and web, adapting appropriately to each platform.
• Ability to prototype quickly to communicate ideas and validate concepts.
• Strong systems thinking for consistency and cohesion across a product.
• Experience collaborating closely with Product and Engineering in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
• Ability to apply and extend brand naturally and at scale within product experiences.
• Comfort using AI tools to support exploration, iteration, and design workflows.

Nice to have

• Startup experience.
• Experience contributing to or building design systems.
• Interest in music, content creation, or creative ecosystems.
