Description
At Interactive Strategies, we collaborate with mission-driven organizations like the American Lung Association, American Kidney Fund, Rainforest Trust, and Special Olympics—to design digital experiences that spark action and make a difference. These aren’t just projects; they’re opportunities to amplify voices, share powerful stories, and create real-world impact. As a Digital Designer, you’ll play a hands-on role in shaping how these causes connect with their audiences. Whether you’re crafting bold social media campaigns, designing sleek and accessible websites, or producing motion graphics that bring a message to life, your work will help organizations stand out and inspire change.
You’ll be part of a thoughtful, collaborative team that values great design and great causes just as much.
What You'll Do
- Social Media Design: Craft bold, on-brand visuals for social campaigns, paid ads, and social-first storytelling. Your designs will drive engagement and boost visibility for meaningful causes.
- Web & Branding Projects: Design websites, landing pages, and visual identities that reflect our clients' missions—always with aesthetics, usability, and responsiveness in mind.
- Animation & Video Content: Create dynamic motion graphics and video content that enhance client messaging and help clients stand out in a crowded digital landscape.
- Collaboration: Partner with senior designers, strategists, project managers, and clients to ensure creative outputs are aligned, impactful, and polished. You’ll be a key contributor across concepting, execution, and refinement.
- Creative Problem-Solving: Tackle design challenges with a strategic mindset—balancing visual appeal, clarity, accessibility, and purpose in every solution.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–5 years of professional experience in digital design (agency or nonprofit experience a plus)
- A portfolio that showcases your work across social, web, branding, illustration, and motion/video content
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and motion tools like After Effects or Premiere Pro
- A sharp eye for typography, color, composition, and design systems
- Detail-oriented, organized, and confident managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
- A growth mindset—open to feedback, iteration, and continuous improvement
- A collaborative spirit and a passion for work that makes a difference
- A feeling that creativity is not just your career, it is a big part of what defines you. Are you also an illustrator? a photographer? a writer? These things matter and we want to hear about them
