About you

---

• You care about all aspects of branding. Our small studio means you’ll often give feedback on brand positioning, copywriting, and web design. You don’t need to lead these areas, but you should care about them.

• You communicate professionally with an edge. We speak like ourselves, not corporate drones. Provide thoughtful, meaningful responses without buzzwords. Use "We believe" instead of "I think."

• You find inspiration beyond our industry. Seek ideas from the world around you, culture, and new innovations. Be endlessly creative and curious, crafting visual metaphors that bring stories to life.

• You want to help others grow. As a senior designer, you’ll lead and mentor junior team members, helping them craft visual narratives and grow professionally.

• You bring experience and wisdom. With 4+ years in-house, at a studio, or agency, you manage tasks and communications in a fast-paced environment. Passionate about creativity, you implement process improvements to focus on making great work. No degree required—self-taught is just as valuable.

• You thrive in a team. You collaborate with other creatives to produce work that exceeds individual efforts. You accept and give feedback constructively, thriving on rapid growth and iteration.

• You handle feedback well. Not everyone will like your work. Constructively handle client and internal feedback, applying changes to meet both needs.

• You think conceptually. With a strong design story, ideas flow easily. We want someone ready to tell fun, visually compelling stories along with their assets.
