Job description

Join an independent Australian children’s publishing and entertainment brand seeking a creative Shopify web designer to elevate an existing website. The site already features established products, content, branding, and illustrated animal character artwork, so your focus will be on refining the visual presentation rather than a full rebuild. You will enhance typography, spacing, layouts, visual hierarchy, product displays, backgrounds, colour treatments, and ensure consistency across desktop and mobile. The ideal candidate will bring a warm, colourful, playful, and storybook-inspired approach, creating a polished 2D cartoon and character-led feel that appeals to both children and parents. Direct implementation of improvements in Shopify is required, not just mockups. Experience with children’s, illustrated, publishing, toy, animation, entertainment, or colourful consumer brands is highly valued. The main work must be substantially completed within seven days of starting.

• Ensure strong character presence and playful yet readable typography throughout the site
