This role is an hourly-based contract estimated to be 10-15 hours per week, with the possibility to increase over time. Contributors will be expected to track their billable hours.

We’re proud of our brand and its design, and the right candidate will be too, and will be excited about playing a key role in its activation, application and development.

• Comfortable working with a brand guideline and illustrated assets to produce infographics, or other complex illustrated graphics
• Background in setting, maintaining, and evolving strategic brand vision, goals, and standards
• Excellent eye for detail and communication skills
• Ability to juggle multiple projects and manage projects
• A portfolio that demonstrates your process & projects you have previously contributed to
• Knowledge of crypto & web3 a plus, but openness to learning more about these industries is critical (and we are also happy to help you become more familiar with this industry as you work with us)

What you’ll do:

• Create and design assets for communications channels (social media posts, blog imagery) and print-ready files for company initiatives (events, product, swag)
• Design and produce digital deliverables, including reports, powerpoint presentations, and newsletters, as required
• Propose and produce design solutions that are relevant and timely. You have your finger on the pulse of what is trending in web3, and you can pitch us ideas that are creative, appropriate, and consistent with brand guidelines.
