Company Description: Zi is a modern design house creating quiet, considered luxury for everyday life. The brand prioritises thoughtful design over loud, performative jewellery, making silver a deliberate choice rather than a compromise.
Founded in 2026 and headquartered in Mumbai, Zi is a small, focused team building and hiring across business functions. The company values restraint, cultural awareness, and designers who can “read the room” before they create
.
Role Description:
This is a full-time, on-site Creative Designer role based in Mumbai.
The Creative
Designer will develop visual concepts and designs that reflect Zi’s philosophy of quiet, enduring luxury. Daily responsibilities include creating brand-aligned content and layouts for digital and print, designing assets for web and social platforms, and collaborating with founders and cross-functional teams on campaigns and product storytelling. The role involves refining and maintaining brand guidelines, preparing production-ready files, and working closely with photography and content to ensure cohesive visual narratives.
The Creative
Designer will contribute to launch-related design projects and help evolve Zi’s visual language as the brand grows.
Qualifications
- Strong Creative Design, Videos and Graphics skills to translate brand philosophy into cohesive visual concepts.
- Experience in Graphics and Web Design for digital platforms, including websites, social media, and marketing materials.
- Proficiency in Branding and visual identity development, including logo usage, typography, and colour systems.
- Advanced skills in industry-standard design tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or equivalent).
- Portfolio demonstrating minimalist, restrained, and concept-led design work, ideally in fashion, jewellery, or lifestyle.
- Ability to work on-site in Mumbai, collaborate in a small team, and manage multiple projects with attention to detail.
- Strong visual communication skills and an understanding of contemporary culture, design trends, and user experience.
- Relevant degree or certification in Design, Visual Communication, or a related field is preferred but not mandatory.
What will you own
- Performance & brand creatives — ad creatives for Meta/Google, landing assets, and anything that needs to convert without compromising the brand's restraint
- Website — banners, PLP/PDP visual assets, seasonal takeovers, collection launch pages
- Publications — lookbooks, PR one-pagers, press kits, catalogue layouts
- Social content — Instagram grid, Reels, Stories; both polished campaign content and everyday brand presence
- Video & motion — short-form edits, product films, campaign teasers, and motion graphics for digital placements
- Packaging & print collateral — as needed, working within the established packaging system
- Design system stewardship — keeping every output consistent with Zi's colour system, typography, and tone, and flagging when a request risks breaking it
What we are looking for
- 3–5+ years in a design role that covered both graphic and video/motion work — agency or in-house at a D2C/fashion/luxury brand strongly preferred
- Strong portfolio showing range: campaign creative, social content, and at least some video/motion editing
- Fluency in the standard toolkit — Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere/After Effects), Figma, Synthesia and similar tools; comfort with rapid-turnaround editing is a plus.
- An eye for restraint — you understand luxury isn't "less design"; it's disciplined design
- Ability to work directly from a brand system and extend it, not reinterpret it
- Comfortable owning output end-to-end: brief to final export, across multiple formats in parallel
Based in or willing to relocate to Mumbai.
Nice to have
- Experience with jewellery, watches, or other detail-heavy edits.
- Experience building or maintaining a brand's visual guidelines
