Junior Designer - Remote

A junior designer at Crooked Media supports the senior design staff. You’ll work on a wide range of projects – from social content to animations to merchandise design. You will also need to provide hands on production support – sourcing images, outlining and color correcting photos (the nitty gritty tasks that make a design team function). The news cycle moves quickly so a Crooked designer needs to be flexible and organized.
