Graphic Designer Gaming & Branding

Graphic Designer Gaming & Branding (Remote)

Krabbe Studios is an independent game development and publishing studio based in Switzerland. We create our own games and help other indie developers bring their projects to market.

We're looking for a creative graphic designer to join our team as a long-term freelancer.

This isn't a traditional full-time position. We're looking for someone who becomes a regular part of our team, works with us across different projects and takes on assignments whenever design work is needed.

What you'll be doing

• Game & Publishing Assets: Steam capsules, key art, promotional artwork, store graphics and press kits for our own games and publishing partners.
• Branding: Logos, visual identities, brand guidelines and consistent designs across our studio and projects.
• Social Media: Instagram and TikTok graphics, YouTube thumbnails, banners, campaign visuals and promotional content.
• Creative Collaboration: Working alongside our marketing team to develop visual concepts for game launches, announcements and campaigns.
• (Optional) Game Design: Creating own in-game assets for our games.

What we're looking for

We're interested in someone with a strong sense of visual design who can create professional, original work.

You should have experience with graphic design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity or similar software, and be comfortable communicating in English.

Experience in gaming, entertainment or indie game marketing is a big plus, especially if you've worked on Steam artwork or game launch campaigns before.

We care about your portfolio and creativity, not your degree or location.

We're a small team but very passionate. All of us want Krabbe Studios to grow and succeed, you should share those goals. A "getting my hours in and done" mentality would not match with us.

Why join Krabbe Studios?

We're a small, international team of people who genuinely enjoy making games. We believe good ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their role or experience.

Here's what you can expect

• Flat hierarchies: No unnecessary management layers. You'll work directly with the people making decisions, including our founder and CEO, who actively develops games alongside the team.
• International team: We welcome people from all around the world and value different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences.
• Flexible working hours: Organise your work around your own availability and agreed deadlines. We care about results, not when or where you work.
• Creative freedom: We want your ideas, not just your ability to follow instructions. Your input matters, and you'll have a genuine say in the visual direction of our projects.
• Free games: Complimentary keys to all Krabbe Studios and Krabbe Studios Publishing games, including future releases.
• Variety of projects: From cozy indie games to action adventures, branding and publishing campaigns. There's always something different to work on.
• A welcoming team: Open communication, mutual respect and a relaxed environment where everyone is encouraged to speak up and contribute.
• Room to grow: As our studio and publishing activities expand, there will be opportunities to take on more creative responsibilities (up to a full time role).

Working with us

You'll work remotely on a flexible freelance agreement, with assignments based on our current needs. There are no fixed weekly hours.

We agree on the scope, deadlines and compensation before each assignment. Payment can be hourly or project-based.

Although this is a freelance position, we're looking for a long-term collaboration. You'll be included in our team communication, contribute creative ideas and help shape how Krabbe Studios and our games are presented.

How to apply

Please send us your portfolio, hourly rate, time zone and general availability.

If you've created artwork for games, Steam store pages or gaming brands, we'd love to see it.

No formal cover letter needed. We appreciate human written letters, even if they contain errors or "lower" grammar than AI-texts.
