Remote UX/UI Illustrator

About the Role

Are you a visual storyteller with a passion for clean, accessible design? We’re seeking a Remote UX/UI Illustrator who thrives at the intersection of art and user experience. This opportunity suits individuals who find fulfillment in transforming complex information into engaging visuals that make digital products more relatable and human. You’ll work remotely on a collaborative, global team that values empathy, diverse perspectives, and intuitive design thinking. Our projects impact users across industries, and we’re looking for someone who can bring illustrations to life in ways that feel both intentional and user-centric.

Key Responsibilities

Bringing Interfaces to Life

• Develop visually cohesive illustrations that enhance both form and function within product designs.
• Support UX teams by adding emotional depth to interactions using original visual elements.
• Translate strategic user flows into intuitive visual narratives for various screen sizes.

Cross-Team Collaboration

• Work side-by-side with researchers, engineers, and designers to iterate and refine concepts.
• Respond to user research findings with illustrative solutions that improve usability.
• Offer design critiques and contribute to creating an inclusive feedback culture.

Designing for Experience

• Ensure illustrations align with accessibility standards and responsive design needs.
• Adapt your visual approach based on feedback, the product context, and the end-user's goals.

Work Environment

This is a fully remote role, and we mean it—no location limits, no rigid schedules. We believe good design happens when you feel supported and trusted. Our team is built on collaboration, psychological safety, and openness to different ideas. We share feedback respectfully, celebrate wins often, and support one another through every project phase. Whether it’s a sketch review or a team retrospective, everyone’s input matters. Designers from different countries and time zones regularly sync on Figma, share thoughts via Slack, and co-create in real time using whiteboarding tools like Miro.

• Adobe Illustrator / Photoshop: For high-fidelity visual asset creation
• Miro: Great for brainstorming, planning, and organizing flows
• Notion: Used for everything from project wikis to mood boards
• GitHub or Abstract: To keep version control clean and collaborative

What We’re Looking For

Skills & Experience

• At least two years of hands-on involvement in digital product design or illustration
• Strong portfolio featuring UX/UI illustrations and interface-enhancing artwork
• Solid understanding of responsive design and inclusive accessibility practices

• Ability to shift between high-level concepting and detail-oriented execution

Who You Are

• Excellent at time management and open communication
• Passionate about working with people from different backgrounds and cultures
• Comfortable receiving and providing honest, constructive feedback

Growth and Opportunities

Here, your ideas won’t sit on a shelf. You’ll be encouraged to share new techniques, experiment with motion, and even co-lead design sprints. Our team champions ownership—so if there’s a tool you’ve been meaning to try or a new approach you want to introduce, this is your space to explore. Several illustrators who started in this role now lead cross-functional initiatives, contribute to global product releases, and mentor junior teammates. You'll not only grow your portfolio but also your impact.

• Annual salary: $55,000 (USD)
• Flexible, fully remote work setup
• Paid vacation, mental health breaks, and public holidays are observed

We believe design should reflect the world around us, which is why our team comprises individuals from diverse backgrounds, identities, and abilities. No matter how you identify, what path brought you here, or what stage you’re in professionally, there is room for you. Hiring isn’t just about resumes or skillsets; it’s about fit, potential, and shared values. We’ve seen illustrators from underrepresented groups become leaders here because they were given trust, opportunity, and community.

Bring your unique perspective, your portfolio of illustrative work, and your passion for creating visuals that empower users.
