Great ideas deserve great design!
We're looking for a 2D Designer who loves creating memorable brand experiences that connect with people. An experienced 2D Designer who gets excited by the challenge of turning a creative thought into something people can see, touch, interact with and remember.
You'll work across a diverse mix of global and local brands, helping shape visual identities and creative campaigns that live across physical environments, digital platforms, content, presentations, events and everything in between. No two days are the same, and that's exactly how we like it.
As our 2D Designer, you'll collaborate with talented creatives, strategists, producers and designers who believe curiosity, collaboration and bold thinking lead to the best work. While we aim to support a healthy work-life balance, there will occasionally be times during live events and production where flexibility outside standard working hours is needed.
If you're a 2D Designer, naturally curious, enjoy solving creative challenges and love bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design, we'd love to hear from you.
