About Nestdore

Context and mission

Nestdore is an early-stage startup on a mission to redefine the relationship between tenants and landlords.

We're building a user-first platform that brings simplicity, clarity, and fairness to renting, from onboarding to communication, verification and beyond.

We’re currently in the MVP stage, looking to bring on a Founding Product Designer who can shape not just our UI, but our identity and product thinking from the ground up.

As our Founding Product Designer, you’ll have a pivotal role in defining the look, feel, and usability of Nestdore. We’re looking for someone who can go from “zero to one”, not just executing screens, but helping us build a thoughtful, research-informed product and brand.

What you'll do

Responsibilities and scope

Core responsibilities

  • Collaborate with the founders to establish a cohesive brand and design language
  • Refine our existing logo and branding elements based on a shared vision
  • Design the full visual MVP, including:
  • Create Lo-Fi to Hi-Fi wireframes with thoughtful UX
  • Help structure and design interactive forms and flows
  • Collaborate on building the pitch deck
  • Lead or contribute to lightweight user and market research, including
  • Join product discussions and help validate design assumptions with real users
  • Review and improve existing survey flows (e.g., tally.so)

Initial MVP deliverables

  • Landing Page
  • Landlord/Tenant Profile Cards
  • Tenant and Landlord Onboarding Flows
  • Upsell Page

Lightweight research

  • Understanding user pain points
  • Mapping journeys and identifying friction
  • Reviewing competitors and identifying opportunities

What we're looking for

Mindset and capabilities

  • Experience designing from scratch (zero to one)
  • Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
  • A strong understanding of UX/UI principles
  • An eye for how product design connects to brand and story
  • Experience with or interest in design systems
  • Familiarity with product discovery techniques and early-stage research
  • Bonus: experience conducting interviews, surveys, or usability testing

Educational background (nice to have)

  • Product Design
  • Graphic Design
  • Visual Communication
  • Psychology (as a complement to design)

Why join Nestdore now?

Opportunity and impact

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup from day one. While we don’t have funding yet, we can offer meaningful equity (4–5%) and the chance to truly shape a product and brand in its infancy.

You’ll have massive creative input and ownership, working alongside founders who are collaborative and mission-driven.

If you’re excited to craft something from scratch — not just decorate screens, but help define what this company feels like, let’s talk.
