Work Model:
Hybrid (3 days in‑office, 2 remote)

We are seeking a Designer with strong conceptual thinking, refined taste, and obsessive attention to detail to join our team. This hybrid role is based out of our Brooklyn or Palo Alto office and is ideal for a designer who is eager to grow—someone comfortable owning pieces of work independently while collaborating closely with Art Directors and Creative Directors. You should be excited to move fluidly between brand systems, layout and typography, visual exploration, and production across mediums.

You’ll contribute meaningfully to projects from early concept through execution, helping bring sophisticated brands to life with care, clarity, and craft.

• Design and execute brand identity systems, editorial layouts, decks, and digital applications
• Support brand concept development and visual exploration under the guidance of Art Directors and Creative Directors
• Translate strategic ideas into thoughtful, well‑crafted design across print, digital, and environmental touchpoints
• Prepare presentation‑ready work that communicates ideas clearly and beautifully
• Execute production‑ready files with strong attention to detail and quality
• Collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure consistency and excellence
• Participate in critiques, reviews, and creative discussions with openness and curiosity
• Maintain organized files, version control, and production standards across projects

• 3–5 years of experience at a design studio or in‑house creative team, ideally within luxury, hospitality, lifestyle, or cultural sectors
• Strong design fundamentals with an elevated sense of typography, composition, and visual hierarchy
• Comfortable taking direction while also contributing ideas, opinions, and visual perspective
• Able to manage multiple tasks and timelines while maintaining a high level of craft
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and Figma
• Interested in both digital and tactile design—print, materials, texture, and physical applications
• Basic to intermediate familiarity with motion design or animation is a plus
• Curious about and open to using emerging tools, including generative AI, as part of the creative process
• Detail‑oriented, thoughtful, and self‑motivated
• Someone who cares deeply about quality, restraint, and doing the work the right way

• Experience in hospitality, real estate, or lifestyle branding
• Comfort working on decks, editorial systems, or long‑form documents
• Familiarity with motion tools (After Effects, Premiere)
• Appreciation for writing, naming, and editorial storytelling
• Experience with print production or working with fabricators and vendors

• Hybrid flexibility with a home base in our Palo Alto or NYC office
• Paid time off and studio‑wide breaks
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Mentorship and growth within a small, highly collaborative team
• Exposure to top‑tier global clients and culturally relevant projects
• Opportunities to grow creatively, strategically, and professionally
