As co-founder and former CEO of the Flow Research Collective with Steven Kotler, their research on flow has been published in Nature Neuroscience, Time Magazine, and Harvard Business Review.

‍At Flow State, we live what we teach. We design our systems, culture, and content around the science of peak performance — helping people unlock the highest version of themselves.Now, we’re expanding our creative team to scale our mission globally through high-impact social storytelling. We’ve already reached 30 million viewers, now you can help us reach 500 million.

The Role

This is a dream position for a designer who can turn neuroscience into a brand people instantly recognize—and want to share.

You’ll collaborate closely with the CEO and Founders to build and evolve our visual identity across everything we ship: social, web, decks, email, and product marketing.

Your job is to take raw ideas, our flow protocols, and neuroscientific concepts—and turn them into clean, high-performing design that feels unmistakably “us” on every platform. You’ll move fast, iterate often, and make the brand stronger every week through templates, systems, and taste.

Shape a Brand - This isn’t “make things pretty.” It’s a chance to define the visual language of a startup and build a brand that looks world-class at every touchpoint.

‍Multi-Platform Design - Design assets that perform natively across IG, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, email, and web—optimized for each format while staying consistent.

‍Visualizing Concepts - Turn complex neuroscience and flow protocols into a full suite of assets and templates that make them simpler to understand and deeper to engage with

What Makes Us Different

We work asynchronously with full schedule autonomy — design your ideal deep work rhythm.

Requirements

✅ Strong portfolio of brand + marketing design (social, web, decks, ads, email—any mix is fine if it converts)

✅ Experience turning raw ideas into clear visual stories (from messy notes → polished, on-brand assets)

✅ Platform-aware design instincts (what works on IG vs. X vs. LinkedIn vs. YouTube thumbnails)

✅ Excellent taste + fundamentals (typography, layout, hierarchy, color, grid systems)

✅ Fast iteration + feedback-friendly (can ship v1 quickly, improve through rounds, stay un-defensive)

✅ Template + system builder (components, styles, reusable layouts that increase output over time)

✅ Comfortable with AI-assisted workflows (image tools, copy help, rapid moodboards) without losing craft

✅ Collaborative operator (works tightly with CEO/founders, marketing, editors—low ego, high ownership)

✅ Detail-oriented + self-directed (spots problems before they ship; proactive about improving the brand)
