Job description

The insatiable business-centric model of current social media growth engines fails us miserably as people because it is solely designed around consumerism and addiction as a profit-maximizing mechanism.

At Lifebonder, we want to take the lead with a human-centric social media platform designed with a purpose - to put people before profit!

We aim to design a safe and friendly space, prioritizing the User’s needs by positioning them at the core of our business, and placing the advertiser at the periphery.

Our game is part of our marketing strategy and a fun way to gather users' personality types to improve our friendship matches.

Job Description

You will work closely with our game developers and be responsible for creating the illustrations they need. You’ll play a key role in shaping our game visuals and will work in a friendly environment with a high level of autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Bring your design expertise to create collections of character illustrations and animations.
• Shape the design language of our game characters, expressing different emotions and feelings.
• Prepare rough drafts based on requirements.
• Refine designs using illustration software.
• Use various colors, graphics, and effects to visualize concepts.
• Participate in design briefs with game developers and marketers to identify needs.

Skills

• Proven experience as an Illustrator, Graphic Designer, Animator, or similar role.
• Strong knowledge of image editing and digital sketching software like Photoshop, InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator.
• Excellent drawing skills with attention to detail, both by hand and digitally.
• Ability to translate ideas and rough wireframes into appealing graphics.
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively.
• Experience creating simple animated illustrations.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working remotely.
• Ability to collaborate and meet deadlines.
• BSc degree in Design, Visual Arts, or relevant qualification.

Our Purpose

We are committed to combating loneliness and the negative impacts of social media by designing a platform that enhances quality of life.
