  • Print production knowledge: Understanding of print processes and experience working with printers to ensure design intent is achieved in final output.
  • Typography and layout: A strong understanding of typography, composition, color theory, and layout principles.
  • Attention to detail: A keen eye for detail and a passion for producing high-quality, polished work.
  • Communication skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions clearly to both clients and colleagues.
  • Time management: Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring they are delivered on time and within scope.
  • Problem solving: Ability to think creatively and solve problems with innovative design solutions.
  • Collaborative spirit: A team player who is open to feedback and thrives in a collaborative environment.
  • Bonus: Experience with Figma, After Effects, or other prototyping/motion tools.
Key responsibilities:
  • Conceptualisation and design: Lead the design process from initial concept through to final delivery, ensuring that design work meets client briefs, timelines, and quality expectations.
  • Brand development: Develop branding solutions, including logos, visual identities, packaging, and other brand collateral that resonate with target audiences and meet strategic objectives.
  • Client interaction: Attend client meetings and presentations to understand their needs, explain design decisions, and present creative concepts confidently.
  • Trend awareness: Stay up to date with the latest design trends, tools, and technology to bring fresh ideas and innovations to your projects.
