Visual Designer job in Washington

Join the team at Threespot and help use the power of design and ideas to help inform people, encourage action, and propel society forward.

Visual Designers at Threespot wed aesthetics to strategic solutions. They understand brand and visual storytelling are essential to creating impactful designs. They shape the look and feel of digital experiences to elevate a brand’s online presence. Not satisfied with the status quo, our designers look beyond current trends to find new and better solutions for our clients.

Since 1999, Threespot has been building digital solutions for clients. Somewhere along the way, we discovered that we value making a difference as much as we like making things. Since then, we’ve dedicated our time and talent to help those, and only those, who are committed to helping others.

If you want to work for clients who are making a difference, and not just a profit, we should talk.
