At League of Geeks we're passionate about creating beautiful and compelling visual experiences. We're looking for artists who are driven by the same love of game art and want to create mind-blowing visual aesthetics in a highly creative environment.

Interface design is your passion. Great icon design is in your blood. When you hear terms such as 'gestalt' or 'diagetic' you really light up! You believe strongly in the power of a great user experience and pushing at the boundaries of what is possible in this craft. To you, a user interface should never be a secondary consideration during development, but carefully integrated into a game's experience.
