Description:

Ensuring a carefully crafted and consistent brand experience across all customer touch points is very important to us. We’re constantly reconsidering every aspect of the customer experience, from their first impression on our website, to the product announcement emails they receive, to the packaging of the product they purchase. Our aesthetic is refined, elevated and minimalist.

But we believe that great design is about more than typography, color tones and spacing. To produce great work, one must thoroughly understand the information being presented and the audience being presented to. We always try to get to the heart of “what are we really trying to say?” and “what’s the best way to say this?”. We’re always working to remove, reduce and clarify.

With all that in mind - we’re looking for a mid-level designer to join our team to help design web landing pages, emails, printed advertising, packaging and to help push our brand forward. You’ll work directly with our small, tight-knit marketing team.
