• Ensure consistency of Nilah’s look and feel across all platforms (print, digital, retail).
• (Bonus) Animate 2D illustrations into short animated clips, GIFs, or reels.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a 2D Illustrator, preferably in children’s content, publishing, or animation.
• Strong portfolio showcasing character design, storytelling, and warm illustration styles.
• Proficiency in tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, or similar.
• (Preferred) Knowledge of After Effects, Toon Boom, or other 2D animation tools.

• Passion for children’s media, cultural storytelling, and purpose-driven brands.

What we offer

• Full-time opportunity with flexibility to work from Ooty or remotely.
• A chance to be part of a pioneering brand creating India’s first relatable doll universe.
• Creative freedom to shape the look of Nilah’s daily life.
