Description:

We’re hiring an Illustrator Trainee who’s passionate about turning abstract ideas into clear, expressive visuals — no prior experience needed, just creativity, patience, and a love for drawing. You’ll assist in producing illustrations for campaigns, social media, product visuals, and branded content. We’ll teach you how to follow style guides, work within design systems, and ensure your illustrations serve both function and story. You’ll support senior illustrators and art directors by preparing rough sketches, variations, and final assets. Expect to experiment with color palettes, line styles, shading techniques, and visual storytelling across multiple formats. You’ll gain exposure to digital illustration tools and workflows used in real studios — from vector graphics to raster textures. We’ll guide you in understanding how your illustrations function within a broader design system or narrative. You’ll take part in feedback sessions that focus on color harmony, storytelling strength, and message clarity. You’ll also assist in preparing artwork for handoff — including file naming, sizing, and layer organization.

Basic Qualifications:

• Ensure accessibility by considering readability, color contrast, and visual clarity.
• Participate in creative reviews, brainstorms, and storyboarding when illustrations are part of a larger campaign.
• Be proud of your craft—your illustrations are often the first thing people notice.
• Revise sketches and final artwork based on feedback, while maintaining creative integrity.
• Ensure all files are properly organized, layered, and formatted for developers or printers.

Preferred:

• Able to follow a brief and adapt illustration style to suit different audiences and brand voices.
• Enjoys bringing ideas, emotions, or narratives to life through illustration.
• Open to revisions and client feedback while maintaining artistic integrity.
• Can balance client vision with creative exploration and offer visual storytelling solutions.
• Proficient in digital illustration tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, or Clip Studio Paint.

Benefits:

• Freedom to explore different styles, formats, and vibes — no creative cages.
• Your name goes on your work — no hidden hand behind “brand visuals.”
• Flexible hours — we care about your creativity, not your clock-in time.
• We value *your* art voice — not just brand consistency.
• You’ll never hear “make it more clip art” — ever.

You’ll also help ensure files are properly layered, resolution-safe, and adaptable across formats. You’ll have the chance to contribute to internal campaigns, client projects, and branded illustration systems. We’ll train you in best practices for visual hierarchy, color use, and spacing across formats. This role is perfect for someone who’s curious, coachable, and loves solving visual problems with creativity. We’ll support you with feedback loops, internal projects, and a chance to contribute to real design pieces from the start. We’ll support your growth with weekly assignments, creative challenges, and access to real projects. By the end of your traineeship, you’ll understand how to bring narrative, style, and structure into a single illustration. If you’re ready to learn how to draw for impact — not just for fun — we’re ready to draw the future with you.
