We're looking for a Brand Designer skilled in visual storytelling to join the Figma Brand Studio.
In this role, you'll help conceptualize and craft brand and product narratives through visually compelling, story-driven work. You'll partner closely with our motion design team to create storyboards, styleframes, and visual directions that translate ideas into captivating brand experiences across product launches, campaigns, and key brand moments.
This role is ideal for a designer who thinks in stories, loves the intersection of design and motion, and wants to shape how Figma presents itself to the world— with clarity, emotion, and craft.
This is a full-time role that can be based in one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Concept and design storyboards and styleframes that bring brand and product stories to life
- Collaborate with motion designers, editors, and producers to develop narrative-driven assets for product launches, campaigns, and events
- Help evolve and maintain a visual storytelling system that reflects the voice, tone, and personality of the Figma brand
- Translate abstract or technical concepts into emotionally resonant, visually engaging creative
- Lead or support brand motion projects from early concepting through final delivery
- Explore new visual directions and creative formats, pushing the boundaries of storytelling
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- A portfolio showcasing strong visual storytelling across mediums, including styleframes, storyboards, and campaign concepts
- Experience collaborating with motion designers and production teams
- A strong sense of composition, color, and pacing, especially in motion contexts
- Ability to think conceptually and translate ideas into strong, narrative visuals
- Comfortable leading creative projects or working autonomously
- Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and storyboarding tools (After Effects a plus, but not required)
While not required, it's a plus if you also have:
- Ability to create basic animations or motion tests independently
- Interest in researching and experimenting with new animation tools, workflows, and technologies
- Experience designing for interactive narratives (e.g., websites, microsites, immersive launches)
- Experience working on brand films, explainer videos, or product walkthroughs
