Design II

We’re looking for a creative professional to join our small team. Our ideal Designer can build a concept, take it through shop drawings, production files, design development for existing concepts, pitch it to the client, and manage the process from start to finish. You will work on a team and will lead projects. We are a small team, so being enthusiastic, a problem solver, and a self starter is a huge part of the role!

Every project through our door is unique, so you must be flexible and enjoy the challenge of a big learning curve — whether it’s new designs, materials, or methods, we are committed to figuring it out. You must be able to inspire the team to create amazing projects that seem impossible!

Integrity

All Kinds has grown by making promises to clients + employees and going to lengths to keep them. It is an integral part of who we are and why people trust us. This core value sits hand in hand with the other core values – if a mistake is made, we communicate directly about it and proactively fix it in a resourceful manner.

Keeping promises is more about building relationships of trust and respect, than being 100% perfect. We keep promises to our clients, to our employees, and each other. That is how we build rapport and solid relationships.

Proactive

We care. We want to make the future better than the past. We are mindful of improving our team’s experience, our processes, our abilities and our clients’ experiences. We show we care by taking action when we see something needs attention. We take time to think through potential hurdles and do our best to address them – which gives our team and our clients a better experience.

We don’t wait until the well is dry to find water.

Humility

We work hard to create a space to learn – where we approach problem solving with curiosity and honesty. We own up to mistakes so we can quickly recover from them and get help from our team to do so. Having humility helps us operate better as a team and it builds trust. We work to become aware of our personal strengths and limitations, and communicate these with the team in an effort to grow and make better progress together.

Resourceful

We creatively use our resources to accomplish big things. Our resources are our tools, our minds, our partners, and curiosity. We are flexible and adaptable – every project comes to us with a unique set of needs, so each of us must have resourcefulness to tackle the creative challenges that come up. Resourcefulness isn’t one person’s strength, it’s everyone’s. We are a small team and we feel mighty!

We know with teamwork, we can find the collective intelligence to succeed.

Be direct

We believe in clear, honest communication. We believe in transparency in our communication. We do not believe in the ‘feedback sandwich’, sugarcoating things, internalizing feedback or spinning out on something. We do believe in directly communicating our needs. We do this while recognizing that we are humans, and we approach all communication with kindness, heart and professionalism.
