What You Bring

• A qualification in Graphic Design / Layout Design (or magical talent + portfolio)
• Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator mastery

• A portfolio that makes us say “WOW” (this is a must-have!)

What You’ll Do

• Turn ideas into eye-catching layouts for print and digital platforms
• Play matchmaker between fonts, colours, and images until they’re a perfect couple
• Work with the creative team to design brochures, magazines, ads, and digital assets
• Keep things pixel-perfect and aligned (yes, we notice when it’s off by 1mm)
• Balance creativity with deadlines — because magic also needs structure

What’s in It for You

• A dynamic, creative team who loves great design
• The chance to make your layouts live in print and digital
• Endless opportunities to learn, grow, and experiment
• Coffee. Lots of coffee.
