Job Description

Every image, every typographic choice, every layout decision for both brands either reinforces their authority or dilutes it. Nothing is neutral. This role is responsible for every visual decision across both brands — social, digital, print, and client-facing — and for the integrity of two distinct visual identity systems.

We are not looking for a designer who can execute to brief. We are looking for a designer who has already developed a refined visual intelligence — someone who understands, without being told, that great luxury communication is built on decisions about what to remove, not what to add.

• Design all social content for The Quarry: Instagram grid, Stories, LinkedIn, Pinterest — restrained, typographically disciplined, material-first in every frame
• Produce all campaign creative for The Quarry: static ads, carousel formats, Story ads — holding the gallery register regardless of format constraints
• Design all client-facing presentations, proposals, and print collateral for The Quarry to gallery-publication quality
• Art-direct photography of stone slabs and installed spaces: brief the photographer, attend shoots where needed, select and retouch final images
  • Design all social content for Design First: Instagram grid, Stories, LinkedIn — warm, editorial, design-narrative-led, with spaces and projects as the primary visual subject
  • Produce all campaign creative for Design First: paid digital assets, presentation decks, event collateral — emotionally warmer in register than The Quarry but at equal quality
  • Design client-facing presentations, project proposals, and lookbooks for Design First to luxury editorial quality — these go directly to UHNI clients
  • Art-direct project photography for Design First: brief photographers on spatial atmosphere and design depth, not interior documentation

Cross Brand Responsibilities

• Own and evolve two distinct visual identity systems — The Quarry's and Design First's — ensuring they are internally consistent and externally distinct
• Build and maintain visual template libraries for both brands
• Design all print-ready collateral for both brands: product cards, lookbooks, exhibition materials, event invitations, private viewing communications
• Write the visual brief for all product and space photography across both brands — define the specific outcome, not just the subject
• Select, retouch, and prepare photography for publication across both brands — understanding the difference between a photograph that communicates depth and one that merely documents a surface
• Build and maintain photography and asset archives for both The Quarry and Design First — organized, tagged, and accessible to the full team

Job Specifications

• Qualification:
• Degree in Graphic Design or Visual Communication — NID, NIFT, MIT Institute of Design, Srishti, or equivalent institution
• Portfolio quality takes precedence over institution name
• Experience & Background:
• 10–12 years of professional graphic design experience — portfolio is the primary evidence, not the CV
• Has built or led a brand visual identity system — at this level, is responsible for the system itself
• Documented background in editorial design, luxury brand communication, or luxury brand identity
• Experience managing multiple visual identities simultaneously is a significant advantage
• Print design discipline: grid systems, typographic control, hierarchy, and production-level file management — mandatory
• Adobe Illustrator
• Tools & Software – Strong Advantage
• Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro
• Figma
• Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides
• AI visual tools (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly)
• Skills & Qualities:
• The ability to hold two distinct visual languages simultaneously — The Quarry's restraint and Design First's warmth — without merging them is the central skill this role requires
• Typographic intelligence at a senior level — specific, defensible type choices; can explain every font decision in the context of the brand it serves
• Image intelligence at art direction level — shapes what is photographed and how, not just selects from what is delivered
• Motion understanding — sufficient knowledge of After Effects to art-direct short-form video and Reels, even when not personally editing
• Presentation design capability — builds client decks that function as brand communication, not just formatted slides
• Print production knowledge — understands paper weights, surface finishes, lamination, binding formats; can brief a print vendor with complete technical specifications
• Design reasoning — every decision is specific and defensible; the explanation matters as much as the choice
• Production precision — print-ready files, output resolution, bleed and spec management, without requiring rework downstream
• Emotional maturity, ownership, and discretion — works within a founder-led dual-brand luxury environment where the standards are exacting
• Personality
• Highly detail-oriented and self-disciplined — catches errors before they reach the brief reviewer
• Calm and quality-focused under deadline pressure — does not sacrifice standard when timelines tighten
• Aesthetically mature — taste is visible in personal as well as professional work; does not follow trends, sets a standard
• Ownership-driven — treats the brand's visual language as their professional responsibility, not a client brief to be executed and returned
