The Role

We are seeking a Designer with strong conceptual thinking, refined taste, and an obsessive attention to detail to join our team.

This is a hybrid role based out of our Brooklyn or Palo Alto office and is ideal for a designer who is eager to grow—someone comfortable owning pieces of work independently while collaborating closely with Art Directors and Creative Directors. You should be excited to move fluidly between brand systems, layout and typography, visual exploration, and production across mediums.

You’ll contribute meaningfully to projects from early concept through execution, helping bring sophisticated brands to life with care, clarity, and craft.
