AI Designer / Generative Image Maker
About Us
NextOfKin Creatives (NOK) is an award-winning strategic design studio based in Singapore, founded in 2007. We are a team of cross-disciplinary creative thinkers and problem solvers who push boundaries to uncover unique perspectives—delivering exceptional services, visuals, products, and life experiences. NOK embodies our belief in forming deep, meaningful bonds with collaboration partners, akin to ties forged with family.
Job Overview
We are looking for an AI Designer / Generative Image Maker to join the studio and help develop AI workflows as well as assist in high-end visualization work using emerging image and motion workflows. Applicant should have a strong visual eye, a deep curiosity for emerging AI tools and workflows, and the ability to move fluidly between concept exploration, generation, iteration, and refinement. You will work closely with our other in-house designers to deliver cohesive, high-impact visual narratives for ambitious, forward-thinking clients.
Responsibilities
- Develop high-end visual work using emerging AI image and motion generation workflows, from initial concept through to final delivery.
- Craft precise and effective prompts that yield consistent, on-brand, high-fidelity results across varied projects and deliverables.
- Conceptualise and visualise objects, products, and environments from scratch — translating abstract ideas into fully realised generative visual concepts.
- Explore and push hybrid AI and motion workflows to elevate the quality and ambition of visual outputs.
- Integrate motion design thinking into generative image workflows, producing assets that are conceived and crafted with animation and movement in mind.
- Post-process and composite AI-generated imagery using professional editing software to achieve polished, production-ready results.
- Collaborate closely with creative directors, designers, and strategists to translate briefs into compelling generative visual concepts.
- Proactively explore emerging tools and workflows, and introduce relevant advancements to the studio.
- Build and maintain internal prompt libraries, visual style guides, and generative workflow documentation.
Required Skills and Experience
- Strong generative visual creation capabilities, including the ability to ideate, construct, and refine high-end imagery entirely within AI-driven workflows.
- Strong object conceptualisation skills — able to visualise and articulate products, materials, forms, and environments with clarity and creative precision before and during the generation process.
- Motion design integration — experience developing generative visuals with motion in mind, and the ability to extend still image work into AI-driven video and animation workflows.
- Strong hands-on experience with current AI image generation platforms, across workflows optimised for editorial aesthetics, photorealistic visuals, typographic accuracy, and brand-consistent image creation.
- Strong hands-on experience with AI motion and video generation workflows — including image-to-video, cinematic transitions, and short-form content production.
- Strong visual taste and understanding of composition, lighting, materiality, and image construction.
- Advanced prompt engineering skills — including model-specific approaches, iteration strategies, and context optimisation for consistent, high-quality outputs.
- Proficiency in professional image editing software for compositing, retouching, and post-production refinement of AI-generated assets.
- Ability to move fluidly between concept exploration, generation, iteration, and refinement without losing quality or creative intent.
- Strong sense of aesthetics and visual codes across branding, lifestyle, consumer technology, and contemporary visual culture.
- Comfortable exploring multiple visual directions rapidly under creative direction and within tight studio timelines.
- Self-motivated with a genuine drive to explore and adopt emerging tools and workflows independently.
- Collaborative and communicative — essential in a close-knit, fast-moving studio environment.
Qualifications
- Diploma or Degree in related creative field.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating AI-assisted image and motion work across varied styles, formats, and use cases — include process and workflow documentation, not just final outputs.
- 1–2 years of relevant working experience
- Proficient in speaking and writing in English.
- Proficiency in Mandarin is a plus (for liaising with our Mandarin-speaking clients).
- Designer already based in Singapore preferred
