Illustrator

The Discord family is looking for an illustrator with one or two hands for the creation and finalization of a large range of creative projects, which includes developing conceptual sketches to high-quality final work that resolves the communication challenge of the task. Final art needs to stay on schedule and match our current aesthetic and quality levels. Actually, if you can draw with your feet we’ll be more impressed.

Anyway, as a member of the design team, you’ll help inform how we communicate the brand of Discord to the world and support the creative development of all of our product and marketing needs. We are a friendly, collaborative team who focus on creating high-quality experiences that grow Discord above everything else. And memes.

Discord is a small group of passionate gamers whose mission is to bring people together around games. Diversity and inclusiveness are a critical part of how we get there. We believe that with diversity comes a better product, better decisions, and a better work environment. Everyone here is committed to making Discord representative of the world we want to live and play in.
