Part-Time Junior Graphic Designer / Visual Content Creator

We are looking for a sharp, ambitious and highly creative part-time Visual Designer to help improve the look and feel of Challengger, a growing fitness and challenge-based mobile app.

This is a hands-on in-app design role. You will work with existing app screens, characters, illustrations, icons, screenshots, backgrounds and brand assets to create more polished and engaging mobile experiences.

You do not need to be a traditional illustrator or draw artwork from scratch. We are looking for someone who is confident taking existing visual elements and improving them through layering, composition, styling, background treatment, image editing and creative presentation.

A key part of the role will involve working with Mo, the Challengger character, and helping integrate Mo naturally into different parts of the app.

What you will be doing

• Improving the visual presentation of existing app screens
• Creating and refining backgrounds, overlays and layered visual compositions
• Working with existing Mo character artwork and placing Mo into different in-app scenarios
• Restyling and combining existing images and graphic assets
• Creating polished visuals for onboarding, challenge completion, celebrations, rewards and other app moments
• Helping make screens feel more engaging, playful and consistent
• Producing visual mock-ups that can be handed to the mobile development team
• Creating alternative design options from a brief
• Adjusting designs based on feedback and real device testing
• Maintaining a consistent visual style across the Challengger app

What we are looking for

• A strong visual eye and excellent attention to detail
• Good understanding of composition, hierarchy, spacing and colour
• Confidence working with layers, masks, cut-outs, backgrounds and image effects
• Experience with Figma, Photoshop, Canva, Affinity or similar tools
• Ability to work with existing artwork rather than needing to illustrate everything from scratch
• An understanding of how designs should work on mobile screens
• Ability to follow an established brand while still bringing fresh ideas
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of tasks
• Open to feedback, quick to learn and able to work at a good pace

Experience in mobile app design, UI design, gaming visuals, character-based products or digital product design would be useful, but formal qualifications are not essential.

We care more about whether you have a sharp eye, strong creative judgement and the ability to turn rough ideas into polished app visuals.

Pay: R8 000,00 - R12 000,00 per month
