What We’re Looking For

Dreambook is searching for a

vector-style illustrator

who excels at creating expressive, modular characters for a children’s iPad storytelling app. You’ll design lovable protagonists (dragons, robots, kids, animals, etc.) and build the interchangeable parts—faces, outfits, props, poses—that power our in-app

character creator

. While you may occasionally weigh in on UI/UX, your primary mission is crafting high-quality vector artwork that sparks imagination and can be mixed-and-matched without losing charm or consistency.

Responsibilities

• 
  Create modular character systems
  
  : heads, limbs, costumes, accessories, and facial expressions that slot together seamlessly in a drag-and-drop interface.
• 
  Illustrate complementary assets
  
  : icons, environment elements, and background scenes in the same vector style.
• Work with the Art Director to
  
  maintain a unified look
  
  (color palette, line weight, proportions) across all Dreambook visuals.
• Prepare layered, well-named files (SVG/AI/PDF) optimized for Retina iPad displays, ready for export at 1×–4×.
• Provide art-ready guidance to engineers on how assets should be assembled, animated, or layered in SwiftUI / SpriteKit.
• Jump into marketing needs—promo headers, social media snippets—using the same character sets when required.
  

What You’ll Need

• 
  8+ years
  
  professional digital illustration experience, with a portfolio highlighting
  
  vector character work
  
  for games, apps, or animation.
• Mastery of Illustrator, Figma, Affinity Designer, or similar vector tools; confident with shape construction, path editing, and symbol libraries.
• Demonstrated skill in designing
  
  mix-and-match character parts
  
  (e.g., avatar systems, dress-up games, character builders).
• Solid grasp of kid-centric aesthetics—bold shapes, clear silhouettes, friendly proportions, and culturally inclusive designs.
• Ability to organize files for hand-off (layer hierarchy, naming conventions, export presets).
• Comfortable collaborating with a distributed team, iterating quickly on feedback, and meeting agreed weekly hours.
• Bonus skills: basic Lottie/SpriteKit animation, accessibility awareness, or prior work on children’s educational products.
  

What We Offer

• 
  Equity compensation
  
  through our shareholder agreement (no cash salary at this stage).
• A flexible
  
  10–20 hrs/week
  
  commitment that fits alongside freelance or part-time work, with meeting windows coordinated across time zones.
• A chance to shape a product that empowers children worldwide to read, write, and imagine through their own stories.
• Growth opportunities as Dreambook scales—expanded hours, leadership potential, and a lasting creative impact.
