Pixel One is a design partner to some of the most ambitious teams in B2B SaaS, AI, and future-defining enterprise technology. We work with clients like Google, Hublot, Range Rover and more. We help them turn complex products into clear, compelling experiences.

We’re seeking an elite freelance illustrator to craft striking, concept-driven work that helps top B2B SaaS companies communicate with clarity, depth, and character.

This is a rare opportunity to do career-defining work alongside a tight-knit, driven team. Our mission is to become the world’s leading design studio for B2B SaaS, and we’ve built a reputation for excellence by challenging assumptions, pushing our ideas, and developing a visual language that balances aesthetic craft with strategic clarity.

Pixel One has weathered every major industry downturn, from the VC winter to COVID layoffs, and not only survived but grown 100% year-over-year, with this year on track to be our biggest yet. That stability comes from staying ahead of the curve: we’ve been working on AI agent interfaces since 2016, long before they were mainstream.

If you admire, enjoy, and truly connect with the craft of B2B SaaS design, this is the kind of work that feels energizing, meaningful, and creatively fulfilling. You’ll be supported by a studio that invests in your growth, values your voice, and believes that exceptional design can move entire industries forward.
