The Role
We’re looking for a creative, versatile Graphic Designer to join our team for a full-time position.


This role sits at the heart of our visual identity; you will turn ideas into high-impact visuals that resonate with our community. Working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, you’ll adapt to a wide variety of design styles to create stunning assets across our web, print, and marketing channels. You’re someone who thrives in a dynamic creative ecosystem, understands fandom aesthetics, and enjoys turning concepts into beautiful, polished designs.

Project & Workflow Management

Who You Are

• Adobe Suite Expert: Advanced proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and related applications) is a must.

• Collaborative Communicator: A positive, collaborative team player who welcomes feedback and enjoys iterating on designs.
