Our future plans go much further and include making zero waste a reality for millions.

As a B Corp‑certified company, sustainability isn’t just a company value—it’s a core part of our purpose. Our mission is to empower communities to waste less, and every success our team celebrates means more waste saved from the landfill and more valuable donations in the hands of local non‑profits.

• Available for in‑office collaboration in Georgetown twice weekly
• Portfolio demonstrating design capabilities and passion for compelling, novel approaches
• Proficient in the tools: Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and other design software
• A good sense of current design trends, typography and aesthetics, channel best practices, complemented by traditional design principles such as typography, color, and layout
• A sharp eye for detail and a commitment to delivering polished professional designs
• Self‑driven startup mindset: creative energy, confidence, and self‑motivation to learn new tools quickly, work in a fast‑paced, ever‑evolving environment, and seek out new solutions and ideas
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain design concepts and collaborate effectively
• Enthusiasm for design, creativity, and making a meaningful impact through your work

Employment
