Staff Designer

As the embodiment of design thinking, you bring ideas to life, extending visual language into functional mediums. You turn clients' stories, visions, and voices into something tangible and real. With the strength of your conceptual thinking, your creations show us how problems can be solved, simplified, and then go on to succeed. You've got the whole form/function thing down pat, and you're down to join a team that embraces Design in everything they do.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Assist with the creation of visual designs, typography, visual concepts, logos, and icons.
• Brainstorm creative concepts with the project team and help develop original campaigns.
• Integrate ideas across multiple mediums including TV, print, and digital.
• Ideally, you will get direction and run with it. We look for self-starters, go-getters, and other hyphenated-type characters.
• Sell your work-not just to clients, but to your peers and colleagues, too.
• Working on projects and assignments in accordance to established timelines and project briefs and expectations

QUALIFICATIONS: 

• 2-3 years of proven experience in the agency space.
• A bachelor's degree in Design or a portfolio school education focused on Design/art direction.
• You're a conceptual creative problem solver, strategically applying ideas across all channels.
• Bonus: you have a strong interest and/or experience specific to print production and packaging.
• You are collaborative, hardworking, adaptable, with strong initiative.
• You are rational but innovative.
• You have a naturally curious mind and a passion for applying pixel-perfect design to creative concepts.
• You're ready to spitball and spit-shine ground-breaking ideas with a phenomenal, hardworking group of people.
• You're receptive to constructive feedback, a quick learner and continuously looking for ways to grow.
• No huge egos. Or even medium-size egos. In fact, no ego is better. Okay maybe like a teeny-tiny ego (because you ARE human after all*).
• You are, right? You must be human. That is definitely a requirement.
