Mid-Weight Brand Designer
Design Theory Collective is looking for a talented and strategic Mid-Weight Brand Designer to join our team. This role is for a creative thinker who lives and breathes the brand world, with a passion for building cohesive, memorable brand experiences that don’t just look good, but tell a powerful story.
We are a nimble collective of experienced designers specialising in creating exceptional brand experiences for clients across the globe. Our work spans from luxury department stores to F&B startups, with projects in Europe, the US, and Korea. Our ethos is simple: we’re people first. This means we foster an environment of free-thinking, flexibility, and collaboration, allowing you the freedom to create your best work.
Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Mid-Weight Brand Designer, you’ll work with the support of our Creative Director to craft the visual identities and experiences that define our clients. You’ll be responsible for:
- Brand Strategy & Development: Translating client vision and strategic insights into complete, compelling brand experiences.
- Visual Execution: Applying the brand identity across a range of touchpoints, from digital and print collateral to environmental graphics within the built environment.
- Creative Problem-Solving: Tackling creative challenges with a strategic and innovative mindset, ensuring all design solutions are both compelling and purposeful.
- Client Engagement: Confidently presenting design concepts to clients, articulating the “why” behind your creative decisions, and building trust.
- Collaboration: Working closely with our interior design team to ensure seamless and cohesive brand experiences, and with external partners and suppliers to ensure flawless execution.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll be a great fit if you have:
- Experience: 4+ years of experience in brand design, ideally within a creative agency or studio setting.
- A Strategic Portfolio: A strong portfolio that showcases your ability to not just design, but to build a complete brand identity from the ground up, with a clear narrative thread.
- Technical Skills: High proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and a strong understanding of how to prepare files for various applications (digital, print, environmental).
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and visual communication skills, with the ability to articulate your creative process and vision clearly.
- Quality Control: Ensuring the highest standards of design, technical execution, and project delivery are met.
- Boundless Curiosity: Someone who doesn’t just accept the status quo, but instead asks why, with the drive to create something meaningful.
Why Join Us?
We’re a flexible, forward-thinking design collective that believes great work doesn’t happen when you’re chained to a desk. We offer a hybrid work model that gives you the flexibility to work from home while still benefiting from the creative energy of in-person collaboration.
- Impact: This is an opportunity to be at the heart of our clients’ brand journeys, creating foundational identities and experiences that shape their presence and connect with their audience.
- Growth: We’re invested in your expertise. You’ll have the autonomy to lead high-impact brand projects, the opportunity to shape our creative direction, and the resources to stay at the forefront of the industry.
- Fair Compensation: We offer a competitive salary based on your experience.
