Nirva is hiring: Brand & Visual Designer in San Francisco

Nirva · San Francisco, CA, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

THE ROLE
You'll be our founding designer — the person who defines how Nirva looks and feels wherever it shows up. This is a deliberately multidisciplinary role: brand identity, graphic and marketing design, packaging and physical brand, web, social, and digital/product design all live with you. You'll work directly with the co-founders, set the visual language from scratch, and own the craft end to end as we launch.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Brand identity & system

— evolve and own Nirva's visual language: logo, type, color, motion, and the guidelines that keep everything coherent.

Graphic & marketing design

— campaign creative, ads, social, decks, and the steady stream of assets a launch runs on.

Brand materials

— the physical, printed side of the brand: packaging, unboxing, retail, events, and collateral.

Digital & product design

— web and landing pages, email, and app/product UI alongside the product team.

Content & motion

— short‑form video, animation, and the visual storytelling that travels on social.

Craft & consistency

— set the quality bar across every surface, and build the templates and systems that let the team move fast without going off‑brand.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must‑haves

A strong, multidisciplinary portfolio spanning brand, graphic, and digital/product design.

Real range — comfortable moving between brand identity, marketing creative, packaging, and UI in the same week.

Premium brand sensibility — you know instinctively what off‑brand looks like.

Early‑stage comfort: self‑directed, fast, and happy owning the work with little process.

Fluency with modern design tools (Figma, Adobe CC) and AI‑native design workflows.

Based in San Francisco and able to work in person.

Strong signals (nice‑to‑haves)

Motion, video, 3D, or product/CGI rendering.

Experience branding consumer hardware or a fashion product — packaging, retail, and the physical side.

Experience taking a brand from zero: building an identity system, not just applying one.

Illustration chops or a distinctive personal style.

COMPENSATION
Location

— San Francisco, in person.
