Does anybody work with illustrator/designer hybrids? How common is this? I’m about to hire and am ideally looking for a fantastic super-hybrid. Curious how likely i am to find one (obviously with the right budget)

Yep, I’ve got a friend who is one! Her official title is Art Director, but she’s definitely a designer-illustrator. Mad tablet chops

Almost every designer I’ve hired (~20) is the hybrid you’ve described. Finding them earlier in their career is easier, but will require more mentorship investment. The more established folks will come with a justified premium and they turn up much less often. Watch out for designers who claim they can illustrate but lack the skills to do it in real-world scenarios (on a deadline, lots of potential revisions, stretching across different styles, etc). Good luck!

Super helpful, thank you!
