About the Role

We are looking for a creative and detail-oriented Junior Graphic Designer to join our design team.

The role will involve creating social media creatives, digital marketing assets, campaign visuals, brand collateral, presentations, and other graphic design requirements.

We believe in design driven by creativity and craft. Strong manual design skills are important, and AI-generated artwork should not be relied upon as a substitute for core graphic design ability.
