About the role

We’re looking for a part-time Contract 2D designer to help with graphics across VRChat through the end of the year. You’ll make storefront art, marketing graphics, in-app banners and art that lives inside worlds.

• This role is perfect for a multi-talented designer who takes pride in creating polished, high-impact visuals for any context.
• What you’ll work on
• Storefront
• Thumbnails for store listings
• Store bundle (multiple items) graphics that show what’s included with the item and still look good at small sizes

• Background graphics
• An icon per bundle for the navigation tiles
• Mobile versions
• Marketing
• Social posts and announcement graphics
• Blog headers
• Static graphics for videos, like title cards, overlays and end screens
• Steam, Meta and other platform assets, delivered in each platform’s required sizes and specs
• In-app
• Banners for events and other promotions in our homeworld
• Notification graphics
• Making sure assets read well at in-app sizes and work with the UI around them
• In-world
• Signage and posters
• Textures and other 2D art used inside worlds

How you’ll work

• A portfolio with a range of 2D work, ideally including marketing graphics and UI or storefront assets
• Experience designing for small sizes and multiple formats, like icons, thumbnails and mobile layouts
• Comfort working within an existing brand while giving each piece its own character
• Experience exporting to platform specs for stores and social channels
• Clear communication, and comfort with quick feedback rounds and changing priorities
• Tidy file habits: consistent naming and organized, layered source files
• Strong skills in Photoshop / Illustrator / Figma / other design tools
• Nice to have
• Familiarity with VRChat or social VR
• Experience making textures for real-time 3D, especially Unity
