Senior Brand Identity Designer

Our mission? Creating value for brands through memorable experiences. With over 25 years in the game, we’ve created spaces for legends like the Heineken Experience, Tony’s Chocolonely, the Gouda Cheese Experience, SPAR and Vodafone Ziggo. Our studio is alive with fresh, ambitious international projects in leisure, brand experience, and retail that require bold brand identities that spark our studio and the client.

If you’re passionate about branding, think across multiple disciplines, and thrive in a fast-paced creative environment this role is made for you. Let’s make magic together!

Are you up for the challenge?

As our new Senior
Brand Identity Designer, you’ll be the driving force behind brand identity within the agency. You’ll translate clients’ stories, values, and ambitions into distinct visual identities that are both meaningful and strategic. You’ll create recognizable brands through conscious choices in logo, color, typography, tone of voice, and style—elements that together make a brand come alive specifically in a spatial context. You’ll be the authority on brand development.

Within projects, you’ll work closely with spatial, graphic, and experience designers to consistently translate the identity across all disciplines. You can present brand development processes professionally and convincingly to clients and team members, clearly explaining how design choices contribute to brand positioning and experience. Occasionally, you’ll lead creative and strategic brand sessions, helping clients clarify their story and positioning. You’ll mentor designers who want to delve deeper into brand identity: you’ll guide their growth and share your knowledge and methodology.

• Developing and designing impressive brand identities for retail, food service, leisure, or brand experience that meet client needs, together with the other Design Leads and Creative Director.
