Graphic Designer

Job Description

We’re looking for a graphic designer who can do it all—or who is at least willing to learn and grow along with us. We fiercely believe in constant improvement and learning, and we are happy to support the right person in this role as they grow their skillset. This isn’t to say this is an entry-level position. You should come to us with experience, which might range from package design and branding to print layout and web design.

If most of your graphic design work is from Canva, you’re probably not the right fit. Or if you don’t have much experience in the creative, original design, it’s also probably not a fit. While this position will start as a contract, we hope to grow it into a full-time position within the company. If you have aspirations to be an art director or creative director one day, then we want to hear from you!
