Web designer
I bring agency leadership, I put clients first, and I thrive on collaboration. Now I'm looking for a creative team to call home.
What I bring to a team
Clean, intentional design
Crafted to convert
Confidence supporting clients
Years of experience
Positive & collaborative attitude
I've led design inside an agency, run client projects from first call to launch, and built for names with a lot riding on the result. Now I'm looking for a team to do my best work with.
About
Raya Slavin is a web designer who has spent her career on agency and creative teams. She was design lead at Pink Lemon Agency, and before that led design for Insider Expeditions and the global experiences brand Unconventional Life.
Her work has supported launches for Diplo, John McEnroe, Jimmy Buffett, Mike Posner, Ben Zobrist, and Virgin, including the website that helped Diplo sell out an expedition to Antarctica.
She designs with the whole user in mind. Raya graduated top of her class at CU Boulder with a degree in psychology, and she brings that understanding of trust, hesitation, and decision making to every layout she builds.
She's equally at home in design tools and inside WordPress, where she builds custom sites and plugins and uses AI workflows to move faster without cutting corners.
Raya is based in Colorado and is looking to join a creative team doing thoughtful work for clients who care about the details.

Tools and skills
I design responsive layouts, present them to clients with confidence, and build them out in WordPress myself. When a site needs something custom, I write the plugin.
