Senior Graphic Designer

ABOUT DROOL

DROOL is a fast-growing e-commerce startup that’s on a mission to become the world’s most progressive destination for discovering unique contemporary art prints and frames. With community at our core, we want to motivate a creative movement that’s driven by self-expression and the empowerment that people should create homes that represent their style and personality. Our founder, Alex, created DROOL out of frustration when looking for art to buy for his flat. As a Graphic Designer himself, he quickly uncovered a lack of representation and support for all the early-career creative talent out there. When he asked around, lots of people felt the same. So he decided to do something about it

Having built an ambitious team, we've grown DROOL profitably, with additional backing by a US VC that has considerable domain expertise scaling startups like Ruggable, Dr Squatch and Fabletics into e-commerce powerhouses.
