Job description

You’ll design brands from strategy through to platform execution, moving fluidly between concept and final delivery across static and motion. The expectation is consistent whether you’re working on a global cultural institution or a compelling mid-scale brief: conceptually strong, beautifully finished.

Your canvas spans the full spectrum of brand design – evolving identities, building platforms, bringing brands to life across multiple touchpoints. You’ll work in After Effects and Figma with equal confidence, maintaining quality whether you’re sketching early thinking or polishing final executions. This is a role where you’re expected to contribute ideas, not just execute them.

You’ll be part of a focused creative team within a studio that positions itself not just as working in culture, but genuinely shaping it, reporting to an experienced Creative Director in an environment built around working with exceptional talent.
