Identity Designer

We are looking for an identity designer with experience in branding, print/packaging, and digital design. You will work within our design team and collaborate externally with client teams and internally with writers, strategists, directors, and project managers. We value strong communicators who are both independently responsible and highly team-minded.

• Create boundary-pushing identity systems and brand applications (digital, print, environmental, packaging, experiential) in a collaborative environment

• Use and expand your design expertise across a wide range of aesthetic styles

• Craft and present visual work with strong conceptual thinking and strategic rationale 

• Build well-defined, thorough brand guidelines for our partners to use

• Report to a Design Director

Requirements

• Ability to successfully contribute to multiple projects simultaneously, handle a fast-paced work environment, and changing priorities
