Product Creative Designer & Illustrator

About the role

The Discord Creative Studio Team is seeking a versatile Product Creative designer and illustrator to join the Collectibles Content Creation team. This role sits within our Product Design org, where your work will directly shape how millions of people experience and express themselves on Discord.

Responsibilities

• Design and illustrate a diverse range of Collectibles assets — including avatar decorations, profile effects, nameplates, and profile frames — across a variety of styles: characters, visual effects, objects, and environments.
• Conceptualize, storyboard, and execute illustrations that communicate design concepts clearly within product constraints and user experience goals.
• Design in-app marketing layouts for Shop that feel native to the product and visually consistent with the broader Collectibles aesthetic.
• Partner closely with game publishers and vendors to art direct and deliver high-quality assets, providing clear direction and feedback aligned with Discord's brand guidelines and technical specifications.
• Collaborate with Product Designers, Engineers, and PMMs to ensure creative assets are purposeful, performant, and well-integrated within the product interface.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, owning asset delivery end to end and communicating proactively on timelines and priorities.
• Give and receive constructive feedback in critiques and live reviews, iterating toward the strongest outcome.

Requirements

• A portfolio demonstrating expressive, high-craft illustration and graphic design work across a range of styles — ideally including work that shipped within a product or established brand ecosystem.
• 2–4 years of design or production experience at an in-house creative team or agency, ideally in tech, gaming, or entertainment.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, with a strong eye for composition, color, typography, and visual hierarchy.
• Experience working within brand guidelines and design systems to produce work that feels native to an established visual identity.
• Experience working with external partners, vendors, or publishers — including providing creative direction, managing feedback loops, and coordinating deliverables.
• Comfort presenting creative concepts and articulating design decisions to cross-functional partners.
• Ability to take feedback, iterate, and deliver production-ready assets that meet both creative and technical requirements.
• Bonus points for experience with animation or motion design, and an understanding of how static illustration and design assets translate into motion.
• Proficiency in Figma.

• The US base salary range for this full-time position is $148,000 to $166,500 + equity + benefits.
• Our salary ranges are determined by role and level. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
