Competitive salary and opportunities for advancement

Back to the subject at hand—the design role. Let's talk about what's important to us and answer a few of your questions.

What kind of designer are we looking for?

In our dynamic environment, designers tackle a diverse range of projects, from brand collateral to expansive trade show displays. Quality is paramount, and we expect every designer to apply thoughtful attention-to-detail, regardless of project size or complexity. This means autonomously exploring creative layout options and honing in on subtle elements such as alignment, balance, composition, and flow to elevate a piece.

The role is tailored to individuals with extensive production design experience, requiring a strong understanding of layout principles, typography, brand systems, and formatting. While the focus is primarily on print and static digital formats such as presentation designs, proficiency in other aspects of digital design, including web and design systems, is highly valued. Though not a strong requirement, experience in modern tools like Figma will be considered favorably in the evaluation process.

What kind of person are we looking for?

Driven / competent / humble / eager to learn and contribute

What experience and skillsets do we have in mind?

Mid-to-senior-level (3+ years) experience with print, branding, or web design within a company or agency environment.

What programs should you be proficient in?

InDesign / Illustrator / Photoshop / Figma (alt: Sketch)
+10 for Ms Paint
