ROLE
If you know who Paul Rand, Massimo Vignelli, Annie Atkins, Milton Glaser, Zuzana Licko, and Ivan Chermayeff are, or at least recognize some of these names, then you're on your way to liking this job listing. Because we’re looking for a designer who gets inspired by the past and by the future, who knows where good design comes from and can go. The type of designer we’re looking for lives in the United States. Loves both traditional and digital design, can edit, dive into motion design, and work on animated designs. (Read this again because this is really important.)
DARLING
We are a small but mighty creative shop with global roots. Our projects range from helping gigantic enterprises to the smallest startups. From technology to mental health to cheese to financial seriousness. This keeps our minds current, tells us what’s going on in this world, and makes working here interesting without dozing off. We work together like bank robbers, complementing each other’s skills perfectly, in order to pull jobs off seamlessly. And, since a good idea can come from anybody, we’re not a hierarchy. Everyone has a voice to be heard. But this is also a place where you get to learn from the experienced. Copywriters and art directors with a rich award-winning history, and designers who have conquered quite a few windstorms. So having respect is a given. We are a fully remote agency, but the Big Apple [NYC] will always be our home base.
