We started DigitalBridge in a Richmond garage because the creative status quo deserved a craft-focused reckoning. We keep the Richmond, VA office quiet on Wednesdays so deep Heatmap Analysis work actually gets a fighting chance.

We set the base at $119,000 - $180,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.

We refreshed this Art Director listing this week to keep it current for applicants.
