Senior Graphic Designer Overview: Two Barrels is hiring a Senior Graphic Designer to join our team. This is a remote position.

Projects may include web designs/redesigns, app development, spot illustrations, iconography, logo/brand development, brand campaigns for social media and external channels, and graphic support on video and animation projects. You will be able to draw on your skills and experience to do whatever you need to get the job done right. You should have an interest in researching to understand the users and visitors of these properties and think outside the box to raise the level of the projects you'll work on. This is a chance to really dig in and do amazing things.
