Job description
About Wellaroo
Wellaroo is a nonprofit organization developing an all-inclusive social learning application aimed at enhancing people's lives through education, community engagement, wellness initiatives, assessments, and practical daily actions. The app is set to launch soon, and we are seeking a talented Graphic Artist / Visual Designer to finalize the visual aspects of the project.
Role Overview
This position starts as a part-time engagement, roughly 5 to 10 hours weekly, compensated at $20 per hour, reporting directly to the Creative Director. The role offers an opportunity to transition into a full-time salaried position with greater benefits and growth potential following the app launch and subsequent funding phases.
Who We Seek
We prioritize exceptional design talent over traditional titles or extensive experience. Ideal candidates might possess only a few years of experience and may not have a vast portfolio or agency background. What truly counts is an impeccable sense of design fundamentals such as composition, balance, typography, spacing, color theory, visual hierarchy, and a minimalist approach.
Candidates should be detail-oriented, striving for pixel-perfect precision and taking pride in refined, effortless designs. Ownership of work, proactive communication, effective time management, innovative problem-solving, and an independent approach to delivering high-quality results are highly valued.
Creative Responsibilities
The role involves crafting diverse visual assets across multiple media including mobile app graphics, user interface components, brand identity elements, social media visuals, digital illustrations, and photo retouching. The work is dynamic, presenting a variety of design challenges to foster ongoing professional development.
Design Philosophy and Tools
While embracing the latest creative technologies, including AI to automate repetitive tasks, our team emphasizes human creativity as the core of great design. We seek designers eager to leverage modern workflows while advancing their artistic skills.
Successful Candidate Attributes
- An excellent eye for clean, thoughtful, and adaptable designs fitting varying brand styles
- Attention to detail and willingness to iterate based on constructive feedback
- Strong collaboration and clear communication abilities
- Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
- Experience with Figma or openness to learning it
- Enthusiasm for exploring new design tools and work methodologies
Portfolio Expectations
Applicants should submit a portfolio demonstrating versatility—showcasing adaptability to different brand identities, target audiences, and industries. Subtle and natural designs that achieve impact without overpowering are particularly valued.
Hiring Process
Candidates advancing in the selection will complete a design exercise that evaluates creative thinking, visual judgment, and brand alignment beyond what a résumé or portfolio alone can reflect. This opportunity allows direct involvement in refining Wellaroo's visual identity prior to its wide release.
Additional Information
We encourage applications from individuals with innate design talent, a sharp eye for detail, and eagerness to grow, regardless of formal experience or portfolio length.
Why Join Wellaroo?
Joining Wellaroo means contributing to a mission-driven platform dedicated to promoting healthier lifestyles and stronger communities. You will become part of a small, collaborative team where your creativity influences product development from its early stages and where your contributions have meaningful impact. This environment fosters natural talent, curiosity, thoughtful design, and teamwork.
