Freelance Senior Brand Designer

We were founded on the wild idea that startups should think about their brand — and it’s that eyes-wide, sparks-fly thinking that still defines who we are today. We launch businesses that are changing the world and we create brands that actually live in the world. We start with a big idea and then make all kinds of wonderful things that people will obsess over.

Brand design is at the center of everything that we do. We collaborate across disciplines to create and develop dynamic brand worlds for our clients. From logos to content to color, our work needs to work for where it shows up for our clients and we’re always pushing the boundary of what it is to be a brand.

Our Senior Brand Designers are conceptual thinkers who can translate a strategy into a dynamic brand world. They’re plugged into brands today and what’s new and interesting in the world in general. Senior band designers set an example for working collaboratively across teams as we develop a range of brand worlds for our clients that span a wide range of touchpoints and industries.
