Visual Design Artist II, Riot Web - Publishing Platform

Riot Games•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Riot Visual Designers seek to craft the best player experiences through their knowledge of systemic design, graphic design, interactivity, layout, typography, color theory and illustration. Designers collaborate with cross disciplinary teams and act as both artistic and design problem solvers. They understand players and ask questions about the what, who and how when solving for an interface or communication challenge. As a Visual Design Artist II on Riot Web, you will create responsive, accessible, and visually cohesive web experiences across Riot’s ecosystem of player-facing surfaces. You will work within established visual systems, translating UX direction into clear, polished interfaces and collaborating closely with cross-disciplinary partners to ensure designs are intuitive, scalable, and implementation-ready. Through day-to-day production work, you will help reinforce and improve shared UI frameworks by applying them thoughtfully, identifying gaps, and collaborating with peers to keep them effective and consistent across Riot Web. This role requires strong craft fundamentals, comfort working within design systems, and the ability to contribute reliably across a range of web projects.
