The Role
Instrument is a digitally native design and technology company built to help brands unlock their full potential. Since 2005, our team of makers, thinkers, and storytellers has partnered with leading brands like Google, Nike, Uber, ŌURA, and Eventbrite to craft digital experiences that create impact and drive results.
Unlike traditional agencies, we don’t just design—we build. Our work lives at the intersection of taste and technology, powered by curiosity, thoughtful curation, and a commitment to delivering the most fitting solution for every brief. We bring this to life across three core offerings: Brand, Marketing, and Product.
As a member of our freelance network, you’ll collaborate with our teams to bring bold ideas to life—whether launching new brands, building digital products, or shaping experiences that move people. We welcome collaborators from all backgrounds and experiences who share our curiosity, creativity, and care for craft.
We believe great work comes from diverse perspectives and shared purpose. If you’re passionate about learning, experimenting, and making work that matters, we’d love to hear from you.
Instrument partners with the world’s most ambitious companies to create transformational change through best-in-class brand experiences and communications. From day one, we’ve been committed to making this a place where people can create the best work of their careers — sustainably.

You’ll work in tight-knit, multidisciplinary teams alongside strategists, writers, producers, and developers. Collaboration isn’t just encouraged here — it’s essential. You’ll contribute as a key creative voice, helping elevate the work while shaping how it shows up in the world.
