Graphic Designer

About Us:

At Dead Lizard, storytelling is the foundation of everything we do. The right story told in the right way at the right time can do everything from influence opinion to change the future. We're looking for a Graphic Designer who shares our passion and can bring that vision to life across every project we touch.

We are seeking an experienced, multidisciplinary Graphic Designer to join our small, collaborative creative team. This role will contribute across the full project lifecycle, from initial concept through final delivery, developing creative solutions for predominantly media and entertainment clients.

A significant portion of our work revolves around presentation-based design, but not in the traditional sense. We create visually compelling, highly customized presentation experiences that blend storytelling, branding, motion, and design thinking for some of the world's leading media and entertainment companies. The right candidate will bring a strong creative eye, foundational design expertise, and an interest in applying those skills across presentations, print, digital, email marketing, branding, and other client deliverables.

This is a hands-on role with meaningful project ownership and direct client exposure. You will present your work, explain the thinking behind your creative decisions, and help translate client goals into effective visual communications.

• A polished, multidisciplinary portfolio demonstrating a range of work across areas such as presentations, print, digital, email marketing, branding, and campaign materials.

• Proficiency in presentation software (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides). Experience with Windows OS is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to articulate design concepts clearly.
