Create and maintain brand guidelines and brand books that clearly document how each brand is expressed
Apply brand systems consistently across print and digital media
Support marketing and business development efforts across proposals, qualifications, websites, social media, presentations, and campaign materials, working in close collaboration with the Marketing Director and broader marketing team
Translate brand strategy, mission, and audience insights into strong visual solutions
Ensure consistency and quality across all brand communications
Collaborate with marketing, business development, and studio teams to support firm‑wide initiatives
Participate in creative reviews, critiques, and iterative design discussions
Take projects from concept through final delivery with attention to detail and execution
About You
You have a strong design sensibility and a solid foundation in typography, hierarchy, composition, and visual systems
You are comfortable presenting work, explaining your thinking, and refining ideas with feedback from senior leaders
You can balance creative exploration with clarity, structure, and consistency
You are organized, self‑directed, and comfortable working across multiple brands and priorities
You enjoy working collaboratively and are adaptable when navigating ambiguity
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in design, visual communications, or a related field
3+ years of professional experience in brand, graphic, or visual design
A portfolio demonstrating thoughtful brand work across print and digital applications
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, including InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop

Tools, Technology, and AI We actively embrace new tools and technologies that improve how we work, including the thoughtful use of AI to support efficiency, exploration, and production. We expect designers to be transparent about how they use AI in their workflow and to apply it responsibly in service of strong design outcomes, not as a replacement for craft or judgment.
