THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Visual Designer to join a small creative team and create visual assets that bring stories to life. You’ll work on 2D environments, backgrounds, props, illustrations, and campaign imagery, combining traditional design skills with AI-powered image generation.

You’ll collaborate closely with the design lead, producer, and animation team to create high-quality visuals that match each project’s established style. This role is ideal for a proactive, detail-oriented designer who can work independently, adapt to different creative needs, and turn ideas into polished visual assets.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

  • Create and extend 2D environments, backgrounds, props, illustrations, and other visual assets
  • Combine original sketches, AI-generated images, and manual editing to develop high-quality visuals
  • Refine compositions, lighting, colours, and visual details to achieve the desired look
  • Maintain visual consistency across assets and ensure they fit the established style of each project
  • Create designs that work within larger environments and can be adapted across different platforms
  • Share work in progress, gather feedback at key stages, and incorporate it into the final output
  • Collaborate with designers, animators, and the producer to deliver visual assets that support storytelling

WHAT WE EXPECT

MUST-HAVE

  • Strong 2D design and image-making skills, with a good understanding of composition, lighting, colour, and typography
  • Proven experience with Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop and Illustrator
  • Hands-on experience with AI image-generation tools such as Midjourney, ChatGPT, Nano Banana, Seedance, or comparable tools
  • Strong prompt-writing skills and the ability to guide AI tools towards a specific visual direction
  • Ability to think in 3D space and design environments, props, and visual assets that fit a coherent style
  • Excellent spoken and written English
  • Independence, ownership, attention to detail, and proactive communication
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to work in a fast-paced creative environment

NICE-TO-HAVE

  • Experience in gaming, animation, or similar visual-production environments
  • Experience with After Effects

WHY THIS ROLE IS WORTH YOUR TIME

  • Flexible schedule: Start with a part-time workload, with flexible working hours agreed upon with the team and the opportunity to grow into a full-time role
  • Creative ownership: Take responsibility for your assignments, contribute ideas, and help shape the final visuals
  • AI-powered design: Combine traditional 2D design with AI image-generation tools in your creative workflow
