Job description

Full-Time | In-Office | Irvine, CA | 40/hour week

Are you the kind of creative who can design a killer brand identity, make a website look beautiful, and also knows their way around a camera?

Big Hype Marketing is looking for a multidisciplinary Graphic Designer with photography and videography experience to join our creative team.

This is primarily a graphic design and creative lead role , so we're looking for someone with a strong eye for branding, typography, layout and visual storytelling. But we're a boutique creative agency, which means no two days look exactly the same. One day you might be designing a new brand identity, the next you're creating graphics for a website or social campaign, and another you're behind the camera helping us capture content for a client.

At Big Hype, we specialize in branding, website design and development, and social media content creation and management. We work with an exciting mix of clients, from global brands and celebrities to growing businesses and local companies, and design is at the center of almost everything we do.

We're looking for someone who brings great ideas to the table, cares about the details, stays current with design and content trends, and genuinely loves creating great work.

What You'll Do: Graphic Design & Creative Lead

• Develop brand identities, including logos, color palettes, typography and supporting brand elements.
• Design compelling creative for websites, social media, digital ads, presentations, sales decks, print materials, business cards, letterhead and more.
• Translate client ideas, goals and sometimes very vague creative direction into polished, strategic visual concepts.
• Create and expand brand guidelines and maintain consistency across multiple platforms and mediums.
• Lead creative direction on social media accounts.
• Collaborate with our creative director, account managers, web team and content team to elevate client work.
• Bring fresh ideas, inspiration and a strong creative point of view to projects.
• Manage multiple client projects while staying organized and meeting deadlines.
• Give feedback to team members Canva designs to elevate their work.
• Plan creative behind social media accounts to ensure cohesive look, feel, and message points.
• Take feedback well and use it to make the work stronger.

Photography + Videography

• Photograph client headshots, products, lifestyle content, events and social media content.
• Capture high-quality vertical video for Reels and other short-form social content.
• Understand lighting, composition, framing and how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera.
• Retouch and edit photography in Photoshop with a polished but natural look.
• Assist with planning shot lists and creative concepts for client shoots.
• Edit short-form video with an understanding of pacing, hooks, transitions and current social media trends.
• Help us continually improve the quality and creativity of the content we produce.
  

Who We Are Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

• Have 3+ years of professional graphic design experience using the Adobe Suite , ideally in an agency, marketing or multi-brand environment.
• Have a strong portfolio demonstrating branding, layout and digital design work.
• Have hands-on photography experience and can confidently operate a professional camera.
• Are proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Figma.
• Have experience developing complete brand identities, not just individual graphics.
• Understand typography, hierarchy, composition, color and branding principles.
• Can move between very different client aesthetics without making everything look like the same brand.
• Have experience editing and retouching photography.
• Have video shooting and editing experience; short-form/social video experience is a big plus.
• Keep up with design, branding and social media trends without simply copying what's trending.
• Understand indoor and outdoor lighting.
• Are comfortable receiving creative direction and constructive feedback.
• Can explain the thinking behind your creative choices.
• Are organized, dependable and comfortable juggling multiple projects and deadlines.
• Enjoy working collaboratively but can also take ownership of a project and run with it.
• Have excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
  

Education & Experience

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, Visual Communications or a related field is a plus, but your portfolio matters more to us than your degree .
• 3+ years of professional graphic design experience preferred.
• Photography/videography experience strongly preferred.
• A strong portfolio is required to be considered for this position.
• Must be eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship.
