Junior Product Illustrator at Hadley Designs
Job Description
Who You Are
You are an early-career illustrator with genuine drawing talent and a real eye for cute, playful, kid-friendly design. You love to make art and you want to keep doing exactly that. This is the work you want to grow in, not a stepping stone into something else. You take creative direction cleanly, you learn a style fast, and you can carry a piece all the way to finished without needing it handed back to you. You thrive in a remote, fast-moving environment where new products ship every month, and you are excited to build your portfolio inside a brand that reaches millions of families.
Must-haves
- A portfolio of original illustration work that shows a cute, playful, kid-friendly or product-design sensibility.
- Working proficiency in Adobe Illustrator for native illustration (not just file handling or layout).
- Ability to match and extend an existing art style, completing a set so new pieces sit naturally alongside the originals.
- Strong ability to take written and verbal creative direction and turn it into finished work.
- Reliability on deadlines while managing several pieces at once.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience preparing print / production files to spec.
- Familiarity with the children's, educational, or consumer-product space.
- Comfort with lightweight project tools (Notion, ClickUp) and file organization.
- Note: this is an entry-level maker's role. We are not looking for a senior art director or a veteran illustrator. We are looking for real talent early in its arc, with the interest and hunger to grow.
