Artist and the Machine is the leading event series and advisory at the intersection of AI, Creativity, and Humanity. We host elevated, enterprise-level Summits across LA and NY.

We're seeking a sharp, brand-obsessed, and detail-oriented Freelance Designer to own the visual identity and creative asset system that powers everything we put into the world — across social, event, print, and on-screen surfaces. The ideal candidate has an exceptional eye, moves fast without sacrificing craft, and can take a brief and turn it into a polished, on-brand, reusable template. You care about the small things (kerning, white space, consistency) and the big things (does this feel like AATM?). Experience designing for premium events, conferences, or culture/tech brands is a strong plus. This is a contract role starting ASAP, working closely with the founding and marketing team around our LA and NY Summits and ongoing.

Title: Freelance Designer (Digital Brand & Physical Event Graphics)

Time Commitment: Flexible / project-based, scaling up around event run-ups (NY Summit, LA Summit, After Hours, ad hoc partnerships)

Location: Remote, with availability for EST/PST coordination. Onsite availability for flagship Summits a plus.

Start Date: ASAP

Tools: Canva, Photoshop/Adobe CC, Figma — comfort building editable, well-organized template files is a must

Your Key Responsibilities

Social & Marketing Templates

• Design and maintain AATM's library of editable social templates: speaker announcements, session features, agenda highlights, sponsor spotlights, event flyers, ticket tiers, event milestones, quote graphics, insight graphics, and report covers
• Deliver each template in standard IG and landscape/newsletter dimensions, built so the marketing team can update copy and assets without breaking the design
• Save and organize working files in a clear, hand-off-ready structure

Event & Print Assets

• Produce print and physical event assets: signage, cocktail/event menus, matte graphics, and other on-site collateral, working from clean spec sheets and sizing requirements
• Design on-screen and stage assets: main and breakout stage visuals, lower thirds, gobos, and screen graphics aligned to each event's design system
• Create animated video bumpers (top-and-tail) for session recordings, aligned to event branding

Event Property Systems

• Build cohesive template sets for each event property — Summits, After Hours, Studio Day, Cannes Lions, dinners, and ad hoc partnerships — each aligned to the parent AATM brand while carrying its own distinct feel
