Full job description

What we offer


Design for a better world. As a designer, you will craft fresh, delightful, people-centered experiences across web, mobile, email, social, and print. Working with a mix of nonprofits, brands, and causes, you will build cohesive, action-oriented campaigns, craft responsive websites and brands, and engage audiences with compelling visual storytelling. You’ll work on an interdisciplinary team of strategists, writers, analysts, web developers, creative directors, and clients.

The Company 


Blue State is a purpose-driven agency. We partner with leading causes, brands, and campaigns and create real change. From AARP and Doctors Without Borders to Amnesty International and Oxfam, we transform how brands and causes raise money, influence policy, build platforms, and grow communities of supporters. Led by the most creative and analytical minds from the political, nonprofit, and brand worlds, Blue State is an independent agency in the US and London.


The Team


Designers at Blue State are curious, passionate, and eager to collaborate across disciplines. They’re thoroughly immersed in the field of design and are able to work quickly, autonomously, and with polish. They understand how to use design to provoke action, aid in understanding, and clarify information.


A day in the life

  • Support the visual design of a wide range of projects – including email and social campaigns, Direct Mail and Paid Media. 
  • Collaborate with writers, other designers and creative directors to iterate and evolve designs based on feedback.

The hourly rate for this position is $30.


Some things we're looking for

  • 1-2 years of experience minimum
  • Flexible skills: We’re looking for a versatile design aesthetic, and brilliant examples of how to reach and activate audiences across different styles and platforms online. Prior experience in Figma , After Effects and designing for digital platforms (Social + Paid ads and email) is preferred.
  • Ability to adapt to new situations, solve problems on the fly, and communicate with those around you. Teamwork and scrappiness required.
  • Passion for progress. This includes comfort with ambiguity, a restlessness that resists the status quo, and a commitment to quality that ensures we’re always moving forward.
  • Empathy, communication, respect, and the ability to act as a role model at Blue State

At Blue State, diversity is a necessity, not a nice-to-have. We encourage those from underrepresented communities — women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, those with disabilities and people at all the intersections in between — to apply. Even if you don’t think your current skill set checks every box, but this role seems to align with your strengths, we want to hear from you.


Blue State is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible application and interview process. If you would like to request a reasonable accommodation for a disability, including the use of AI tools throughout the hiring process, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line: Accommodation Request to get started.

We believe there’s no force more powerful than people taking collective action on the things they care about. When an organization wants to mobilize people around a common purpose, they come to us. We don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we know where to find them: in people. We listen, learn, and uncover new insights that often surprise us and our clients — and move us toward better results. Blue State got its start on the campaign trail, pioneering the use of digital to open up the democratic process. Our new approach caught on, and we set out to do more good: raising millions more for nonprofits, shaping legislation and public opinion, and connecting consumers with brands. While our approach is continually evolving, our ethos has never changed: Make good trouble. When the status quo stands in the way of progress, we challenge it. Be curious. We ask the tough questions and let the data lead to answers. Put people first. We let the user drive the program, not the other way around. Drive real change. We obsess over outcomes and actions. If you need it, build it. We make stuff that empowers people to act on the things they care about. Walk the walk. Progress starts with us: our diversity, inclusion, and commitment to values over profits.
