Would you like to play a crucial role in our vision to globally spread positivity through our innovative, accessible, and colourful designs?

If so, you might be the Graphic Designer that we’re looking for. We’re Raspberry Blossom, based in Royal Leamington Spa, with a wealth of amazing retail partners and adding new ones every year.

Our partners come from all over the UK and internationally, and through our products, service and sense of joy, we’re going to inspire the world.

We’re looking for a talented creative individual that has a minimum of three years of experience in the same or similar role. You will play a vital role in supporting both our Sales and Marketing Team and our Creative Director by creating impactful, colourful and smile-inducing design in line with our values and company’s purpose. Are you ready for a new role, with unlimited, exciting and scalable opportunities?

Are you right for the role?

• Are you ambitious, driven, with a will to succeed?
• Do you believe in having fun in the workplace?
• Do you have high energy and the ability to work within a fast paced team?
• Own a positive can-do attitude and have an abundance of common sense?
• Do you have a minimum three years’ experience in creating amazing design?
• Do you have strong visual design skills?
• Are you invested in following all of the latest trends?
• Have a love of all things digital design and naturally describe yourself as “techie”?
• Self confessed geek of gorgeously crafted websites and digital marketing communications?
• Do you have an excellent attention to detail?
• Are you colour obsessed and understand the language of colour combinations?
• Do you get a quiet thrill from a perfectly aligned margin, an elegant colour palette, or a font pairing that just sings?
• Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and make a real difference…

What would you be responsible for?

Create beautiful sales and marketing materials, both printed and digital, that showcases Raspberry Blossom’s wonderful brand and products, supporting our mission and vision and ultimately spreading more everyday moments of joy across the globe.

You’ll do this by:

• Proficiently using Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, to craft polished and professional designs
• Creating captivating newsletters via our email platform that grab attention and drive customer action
• Perfecting layout designs for catalogues, mailers, trade materials, and printed marketing collateral that reflect our joyful brand identity
• Understanding and applying best practices for digital platforms including website visuals and social media assets
• Producing simple animations and short-form content (including GIFs and reels) to bring our digital storytelling to life
• Retouching product and lifestyle imagery to a high standard, adapting assets for use across multiple platforms
• Interpreting briefs from across the business and turning them into clear, cohesive creative output
• Taking ownership of the visual consistency across all materials
• Collaborating with the wider team to concept and design assets for seasonal campaigns, product launches, and trade shows
• Staying curious and inspired — actively seeking out design trends, tools, and techniques to keep our creative edge fresh and relevant

Success in this role will be demonstrated by your ability to consistently deliver beautifully crafted design — on time, on brief, and on brand — that elevates our visual identity, supports key business objectives, and helps spread everyday moments of joy.

Why would you want to join us?

• You will be part of a team of talented and dedicated professionals who definitely do not take themselves too seriously!
• 19.5 hours a week split across three days (with some flexibility in working hours)
• Basic pay of FTE £24k p/a, depending on experience
• 17 Days holiday per year (inclusive of bank holidays)
• Special birthday allowance time off each year
• Monthly team ‘Joy Committee’ event and company parties
• Yearly £350 training bursary towards your personal and professional development
• Unlimited opportunity to grow and develop within a company that actively seeks to challenge you to grow, and become the very best version of yourself

Not only that, it’s an exciting time of growth for Raspberry Blossom:

• Our plan is to keep achieving our mission and deliver more everyday moments of joy to more customers in more touch points both in the UK and globally.
• We are looking to become an established brand not only in the greeting card and stationery world, but also in the home and giftware spaces through our licensing partners.
• We are looking to grow the team and talent to match our ambition.

Who is Raspberry Blossom?

Quite an important question. We’re a wife and husband duo who will be celebrating 11 years of running Raspberry Blossom in 2025. Primarily we have a greeting card and stationery product offering and are proud to be stocked by over 400 outlets in the UK, including some well known retailers such as Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason, Waterstones and Oliver Bonas. Our products are also distributed globally including USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mainland Europe, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore among others.

Our designs have picked up several awards over the years including three prestigious industry accolades including ‘Best Children's Range’ (2023), ‘Best Cute Range’ (2022) and ‘Best Contemporary Trend Range’ (2020). We’re super proud of these. Even more so when there are over 500 greeting card publishers in the UK alone.

However our purpose and core focus for Raspberry Blossom is to ignite connections and spread positivity through innovative, accessible, and heartfelt products that bring smiles to the world. That’s what gets us up in the morning (that, and our two young kids!).
