Graphic Designer

Company Description

Studio Ablefolk is a collective of curious creatives building brands for a world that keeps changing.

We work across strategy, design and words to build brands from the ground up — and make them work in the real world. From the first idea to the final detail, we work closely with our clients to find what makes a brand worth remembering, and then give it a clear visual and verbal language.

We like good ideas, thoughtful design and people who care about the details. Our work spans identities, campaigns, packaging, digital experiences and everything in between.

Role Description

You'll work across a range of brand projects from shaping identities and building visual systems to designing the little things that make a brand feel like itself. You'll work closely with strategy and copy teams, turn ideas into visual directions, explore typography and layouts, and take work all the way through to final production.

There will be brainstorming, presenting, refining, making, remaking and figuring things out along the way. You'll be working across print and digital, so being comfortable moving between mediums is important.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is curious about why things look the way they do, not just how to make them look good.

Qualifications

• A crisp aesthetic and an eye for the details others might miss.
• Someone who understands that a brand is more than a logo, and can build identities that hold together across different mediums.
• A good understanding of typography, grids, composition and visual hierarchy.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite or equivalent design tools.
• A portfolio that shows how you think, not just what you make.
• The ability to take a thought, turn it into a visual idea and push it until it feels right.
• Someone who can work collaboratively, take feedback well and know when to stand by a good idea.
• The ability to manage multiple projects and timelines without losing sight of the work.
• A degree in Design, Visual Communication or a related field is a plus, but a strong portfolio matters more.
