Volunteer Position: Product Interface Designer

Organization: LoopRoots Foundation (in partnership with LoopTroop Inc.)

Location: Remote (occasional team syncs online)

Commitment: 15–20 hours per week (Volunteer, MVP Phase)

About the Role

LoopRoots Foundation is seeking a creative and detail-oriented Product Interface Designer to help design the user interface and interaction flow of our in-car vending system, which will be installed in LoopTroop rideshare vehicles.

This vending system allows riders to purchase snacks, drinks, or small items during rides through a touchscreen interface connected to the LoopTroop driver app.

The designer will work closely with our UI/UX team and hardware engineers to develop a clean, accessible, and engaging on-screen experience for both riders and drivers.

Responsibilities

• Design the user interface for the in-car vending machine touchscreen (driver + rider view).
• Map and visualize user flows for selection, payment, and item confirmation.
• Collaborate with developers and engineers to ensure your designs integrate seamlessly with LoopTroop’s mobile app and hardware systems.
• Create high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and wireframes in Figma or Adobe XD.
• Focus on intuitive usability, quick navigation, and accessibility for all riders.
• Participate in weekly virtual design reviews and provide design documentation for developers.

Ideal Skills

• Experience in UI/UX design, product design, or interaction design.
• Proficiency with Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch.
• Interest in hardware + software interface design (touchscreens, kiosks, vending systems).
• Creative thinker who can design for real-world physical use, not just apps.
• Collaborative team player comfortable with remote communication.

What You’ll Gain

• Experience designing for a social impact rideshare platform integrating technology, mobility, and accessibility.
• Portfolio credit and reference letter upon successful completion of MVP phase.
• Opportunity to transition into a paid Product Design or UI/UX role after launch.
