About the Role

This position is for a creative illustrator and visual storyteller who can turn ideas into striking artwork, concept visuals, and design-ready assets. The work spans digital media, branding, entertainment, publishing, and interactive experiences. It is a strong fit for artists who enjoy character creation, world-building, narrative-driven illustration, and visual concept development.

  • Convert written or spoken briefs into clear and compelling visual concepts.
  • Develop sketches, storyboards, and finished artwork for creative projects.
  • Keep the visual language and artistic direction consistent across deliverables.

Concept Development and Storytelling

  • Shape visual ideas for campaigns, games, branding, and media productions.
  • Partner with writers, designers, and creative leaders to support storytelling goals.
  • Create imagery that conveys atmosphere, tone, mood, and emotion.
  • Experiment with different artistic directions during the early stages of a project.
  • Contribute to world-building, character development, and visual identity systems.

Collaboration and Production

Proficiency with digital art software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Procreate is expected. Candidates should also have a solid grasp of composition, color, lighting, and anatomy, along with the flexibility to work across different styles and creative directions. Experience in animation, gaming, publishing, or advertising would be an added advantage.
