Staff Brand Designer

A portfolio that is simply excellent — work that demonstrates mastery of typography, layout, color, and composition across a range of brand contexts.
A clear and deeply held aesthetic point of view: you can articulate what makes something great and what makes something fall short, and you've built that perspective through years of rigorous practice.
Fluency in brand systems — you understand how to build for scale and consistency, and you've stewarded a brand through growth or change.
7–10+ years of brand design experience, with a background that includes high-craft environments: agency, fashion, elevated consumer, or design-forward tech.
Experience operating at a staff level: you work autonomously, influence without authority, and make decisions that shape the output of an entire team.
Proficiency in Figma and hands-on experience contributing to or owning a design system.
Strong verbal and presentation skills — you can communicate the process, intent, and impact of your design decisions with clarity.
The judgment to know when to zoom in and when to zoom out, and the discipline to hold both at once.
A considered point of view on AI’s place in high-craft design. You’ve used AI tooling in real creative work and can guide a team on where it belongs and how to use it without lowering the bar.
Curiosity, restraint, and a genuine passion for doing work that's worth doing.
