Mid-weight Graphic Designer

Dive in…

You’ll be working alongside the Head of Creative and designers with a collaborative approach on a wide range of clients, creating original ideas for creative briefs across print and digital and supporting the overall creative output in the studio. We’re looking for someone who can put their own preferences to one side, face challenging situations and solve design problems – all whilst considering the needs of the wider team and key stakeholders. You’ll also need to be able to demonstrate your skills and knowledge with a portfolio of work.

The designer will be joining an award-winning agency that puts its customers at the heart of everything that they do. You can expect to work in a fun, relaxed, creative and inspiring environment with a group of talented, ambitious creative people in a studio that encourages individual growth.
