Digital Graphic Designer - Remote, USA

Optimism Online - Digital Graphic Designer

There’s an entire section of the bookshop called “self help” but there is no section called, “help others”. We are working to build the “help others” industry. And we can’t do it alone.

We are looking for a very special person who is a great team player. A person who craves feedback (ALL kinds) to help them grow. A person who is willing to ask for help when they need it and offer it when others need it (even when they don’t ask and even when it’s outside of the scope of your work). A person who wants to be a better version of themselves. And also wants to have fun.

If this sounds like you, read on…
