About Detour

Detour turns airport layovers into real experiences — we connect international travellers passing through Mumbai with verified local student guides who show them the real city between flights. We're early, fast-moving, and we care a lot about how things look and feel.

The role

We're looking for a creative designer to own how Detour looks — our marketing website and the inside of the app. This is a design-first role: you don't need to be a coder. What matters is strong taste and fluency with AI tools to go from idea → beautiful, polished visuals fast.

What you'll do

  • Design screens, flows, and the marketing site in Figma, extending our "Detour" brand system
  • Use AI tools (Midjourney / Firefly / Figma AI / Framer / v0 and friends) to generate concepts, imagery, and rapid prototypes
  • Shape our visual identity — typography, colour, motion, illustration, social creative
  • Turn rough ideas into striking, on-brand designs quickly

You might be a fit if you

  • Have a portfolio that shows real creative range and taste
  • Are fluent with AI design tools and love experimenting with new ones
  • Have a strong eye for typography, layout, colour, and detail
  • Are a student or recent grad who's hungry, fast, and curious
  • (Bonus, not required) Comfort with Figma-to-code/AI build tools, or basic web/Tailwind
