Brand Designer

Brand Designer Description of the RoleThe Brand Designer is a hands-on execution role supporting the creative team across digital, web, and select traditional work. This role reports to the Art Director and exists to carry creative vision from concept into finished, production-ready assets, while also contributing original design thinking, maintaining style guidelines and ensuring brand consistency. You are equally comfortable starting from a blank page and picking up someone else's layout to see it through. You move fast without getting sloppy, you keep your own work organized, and you understand that in an agency the best idea only matters if it ships on time, on spec, and on brand. What sets you apartYou care as much about the last ten percent as the first idea. You sweat the details other people skip, and you leave files in better shape than you found them.
