Visual Designer

Riot Visual Designers create the best user experiences and artifacts through their knowledge of systemic design, graphic design, layout, typography, color theory, illustration, and accessibility standards. Designers collaborate with teams across Riot as both artistic and design problem solvers. They understand users and ask questions about the message, audience, and ultimate goal when solving for a communication challenge.

As a Visual Designer on the Instructional Design: Shared Services team, you will partner with stakeholders, SMEs, and Instructional Designers to create logos, presentations, data visualization, and other assets that not only present a clear message but tell a compelling visual story.
