You work in alignment with our operating principles

Our operating principles are the DNA of Ona. We hold them high, evolve them as we evolve, and integrate them into everything we do. We expect everyone at Ona to actively use the principles as the playbook for how they show up and work.

You have the ability to create visually stunning designs that will mirror the sleekness of Ona\'s product and character.

You’re a storyteller at heart

Brand design is more than beautiful images. A brand\'s identity is made powerful when compelling narratives are threaded throughout your visual elements.

You seek to understand the audience you are creating for, dive deeply into the product and the problems it solves, and produce an end result that thoughtfully connects people to Ona.

You\'re in the business of creating pathways to the product, leaving them truly delighted and connected to Ona.
