This is a remote position.

Summary

We’re looking for a high-level visual designer / Photoshop artist who can create rich, detailed, and textured children’s book illustrations. The focus is on depth, color, and realism (stylized) - not flat or generic designs.

This role is responsible for producing consistent, high-quality visuals across every page, including maintaining the same character and visual style throughout an entire book.

Core Responsibilities

• Create detailed, textured illustrations with strong depth, lighting, and color
• Design consistent characters that remain visually identical across all pages
• Build full scenes (backgrounds, environments, objects) that feel rich and engaging
• Use Photoshop and other tools to compose, enhance, and refine visuals
• Ensure visual consistency across pages and across multiple books
• Deliver final, production-ready artwork

Must-Have

• Strong experience with Photoshop (advanced level)
• Portfolio showing high-detail, textured visuals (this is critical)
• Ability to create depth, lighting, and realistic textures (fabric, furniture, etc.)
• Proven ability to maintain character consistency across multiple scenes
• Strong visual taste - ability to avoid flat or generic designs
• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines

Nice to Have

• Experience with children’s books or storytelling visuals
• Experience combining multiple assets into one cohesive scene
• Familiarity with AI tools or 3D (not required)
