Senior Designer

At idfive, design is as strategic and results-oriented as it is beautiful. As part of the creative team, Senior Designers take the main stage, delivering exceptional creative work and incrementally raising the bar for design excellence. Collaborating alongside UX, Dev, Accounts, Strategy, and Copy, you’ll make all our clients’ brand, print, and digital creative dreams come true—delivering clear and effective communication with expert awareness of our clients’ brands, objectives, and methods for success.

idfive is located in Baltimore, MD. We love Charm City, and it loves us back. A significant number of our team lives in the city and surrounding areas, but fivers can be found all across the country.

While we love to get together and meet for agency-wide events with both our out-of-state and local fivers, where you work is up to you, so long as it’s during our operating hours of 9–5 EST. If you’re within driving distance of the office, you may be asked to work from the office as needed for creative brainstorms or in-person client meetings.
