    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
