About Idea Kraft

At Idea Kraft, we connect people and brands through purposeful design and thoughtful digital experiences. We’re a tight-knit creative agency that values craft, collaboration, and doing meaningful work for a diverse range of clients—from local businesses to larger brands.

The Role

We’re looking for a versatile Graphic & Web Designer who is equally comfortable crafting a brand identity system and building out a polished webpage. You’ll be a core member of our design team—helping shape how our clients show up online, in print, and everywhere in between.

About You

• You have a strong foundation in both web and graphic design—and genuinely enjoy working across both.
• You think about UX and user flow, not just aesthetics. You design with the end user in mind.
• You’re fluent in Figma and use it for everything from wireframes to polished mockups.
• You have a portfolio that demonstrates real web design work: landing pages, site redesigns, responsive layouts, or full site builds.
• You’re detail‑oriented, deadline‑driven, and can manage multiple projects without dropping the ball.
• You’re eager to grow, learn, and contribute ideas to a team that values craft and creativity.

Key Responsibilities

Web Design (Primary Focus)

• Design responsive, visually compelling websites and landing pages from concept through final handoff.
• Create wireframes, user flows, and interactive prototypes in Figma.
• Design and iterate on website UI components, email templates, and digital campaign assets.
• Apply UX best practices to improve usability, hierarchy, and conversion across web projects.

Graphic Design

• Develop brand identities, logos, and visual systems for a range of clients.
• Design print and digital collateral: ads, brochures, social media graphics, presentations, and more.
• Maintain brand consistency across all touchpoints, ensuring alignment with client brand guidelines.
• Support senior designers and collaborate cross‑departmentally to deliver cohesive creative work.

Workflow & Collaboration

• Manage and organize design files in Dropbox and tasks in Asana to keep projects running smoothly.
• Incorporate client and team feedback clearly and efficiently, delivering revisions on time.
• Stay current on design trends, web standards, and emerging tools to bring fresh thinking to every project.

Qualifications

• Degree or diploma in Graphic Design, Web Design, Interaction Design, or equivalent experience.
• A strong portfolio featuring web design work. Responsive layouts, landing pages, or full site designs are a must.
• Expert‑level proficiency in Figma for wireframing, prototyping, and UI design.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
• Working knowledge of HTML and CSS in order to communicate fluently with developers and make minor front‑end tweaks.
• Solid understanding of UX/UI principles, responsive design, and web accessibility basics.
• Strong grasp of design fundamentals: typography, color theory, grid systems, and visual hierarchy.
• Excellent time management and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines without sacrificing quality.

Nice to Have

• Experience building or customizing websites in Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, or similar platforms.
• Experience with motion graphics, animation, or video editing (After Effects, Premiere Pro).

What We Offer

• A creative, collaborative environment where your work genuinely matters.
• Mentorship from senior designers and opportunities to grow your skills in both web and brand design.
• Exposure to a wide variety of clients and industries—no two projects are the same.
• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Flexible work arrangements (Binghamton, NY office or remote in NYS).

Compensation

$50k-$55k commensurate with skills and experience.
