Jobs

Seeking an individual who brings ideas and something different, who isn’t a cog, and can help enlarge what we do as a design studio. Design/Marketing projects focused on illustrada marketing, internal asset development, and/or assist on client projects. Part-time, depending on availability and interests. What you don’t know about the production side of publishing, you’ll have a chance to learn.

Compensation: Hourly, based on experience. Credits, too, if desired. Seasonal (?) internship, open to traditional and nontraditional students and experience-based applicants.

illustrada is the design studio of enigmatic artist/designer Paul Nylander. Built on the pillars of curiosity, consideration, and commitment, illustrada is focused on creating beautiful books with intelligent, passionate people who have things that need saying — a story to tell, a question to ask, or a point to make. Whether it takes the form of a business report or a children’s book, poetry or prose, nonfiction or novel, at illustrada — named for the Latin origin of illustrate, meaning to explain — the goal is to create something we can all be proud of…and might just change the world.

To be considered for this position, please reach out with your portfolio, resume, and a brief statement about your interests to paul@illustrada.com.
