Job description

We're looking for a talented Graphic Designer to lead the creation of impactful visual designs across packaging, branding, print and digital. Working closely with the Creative Director you’ll help build cohesive brand experiences and deliver a variety of creative projects from bold packaging to integrated campaigns.

If you're a detail-oriented multi-skilled designer who thrives on crafting smart, beautiful and strategic design solutions we’d love to hear from you!

What You'll Do :

• Packaging Design Mastery: Take full ownership of product packaging projects ensuring each piece is not only visually striking but also functional on-brand and ready for production. From luxury products to everyday essentials you’ll create packaging that stands out on shelves and in the hands of consumers.
• Brand Identity Creation: Develop and refine brand identities crafting logos, colour palettes, typography and visual language that align with the brand’s values and speak to their target audience. Your designs will tell a brand story from the ground up making an impact in both local and international markets.
• 360 Campaigns: You’ll be involved in every aspect of brand campaigns from the design of marketing collateral to digital ads, social media visuals and print materials. You’ll ensure a cohesive brand experience that spans both online and offline channels.
• Attention to Detail: You’re the person who notices when a colour isn’t quite right or when typography needs that extra tweak to feel just perfect. Your precision and passion for perfecting the smallest details will elevate the quality of everything you create.

What We're Looking For :

• 5 years of experience in graphic design with a strong focus on packaging, branding and integrated design solutions.
• A portfolio that demonstrates your ability to tackle a wide range of design projects from packaging and branding to print and digital collateral. Bonus points if you’ve worked on both local and international brands!
• Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign etc.).
• A strong eye for detail — you notice when the kerning is off, the colour palette needs a little tweaking or when the visual balance could be improved.
• A strategic thinker who understands the bigger picture and is able to create design solutions that align with both brand objectives and consumer needs.
• Experience in both digital and print design you’re comfortable designing for any medium whether its packaging, brochures or social media assets.
• A passion for design trends and a forward‑thinking approach to creative challenges.
• Strong communication skills capable of articulating design choices clearly and working closely with the Creative Director to refine and finalise concepts.
