• Stay current on design trends, internet culture, gaming, social media, and emerging visual styles.

• Take projects from initial concept through production and final delivery.

• Help establish creative standards and raise the overall visual quality of the brand.

What We’re Looking For

• 3 -6 years of professional experience in graphic design, brand design, digital design, or a related field.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating excellent visual design, creative thinking, and range.

• Experience designing for digital-first brands and social platforms.

• Ability to develop creative that feels both on-brand and culturally relevant.

• Strong understanding of how visual design contributes to brand perception and growth.

• Ability to take a project from a loose idea or brief through polished final execution.

• Comfortable working quickly and managing multiple projects in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

• High level of attention to detail and pride in craft.

What Stands Out

• Experience working with gaming, livestreaming, social, entertainment, or creator-focused brands.

• Strong understanding of internet culture, memes, and social trends.

• Experience developing brands from an early stage or helping evolve an existing brand.

• Motion graphics, animation, or video editing experience.

• Experience designing for mobile products or consumer applications.

• Illustration or 3D design experience.

• Experience working closely with creators or community teams.

• A distinctive point of view and portfolio that demonstrates taste beyond following design trends.
