A Day In The Life of a Graphic Designer:

Brand Development & Creative Execution

• Develop and execute high-quality visual assets that bring brand strategy to life across packaging, retail, eCommerce, marketing, events, and internal presentations.
• Contribute to the creation of brand foundations, visual languages, and design systems that enable consistent execution at scale.
• Design and help evolve Brand Asset Toolkits (BATs), style guides, templates, and modular assets that support global and cross-functional teams.
• Translate creative direction into clear, actionable design solutions that balance craft, consistency, and flexibility.

Systems Thinking & Scale

• Think beyond single executions—consider how assets will be used, adapted, localized, and extended across channels and regions.
• Ensure design work aligns with established brand standards while allowing room for thoughtful evolution and innovation.
• Help maintain brand integrity by applying guidelines consistently and flagging gaps or opportunities within existing systems.

Collaboration & Process

• Partner closely with Associate Creative Directors, Senior Designers, and cross-functional teams including Marketing, Franchise, Packaging, Merchandising, eCommerce, Photo Studio, LCP, and Production.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners to ensure assets are delivered accurately, efficiently, and on time.
• Participate in creative reviews, critiques, and working sessions—offering thoughtful feedback and contributing to collective problem-solving.
• Support Associates through informal mentorship, guidance, and example-setting in craft and process.

Strategic Thinking & Growth

• Demonstrate curiosity and emerging strategic thinking—asking smart questions about the “why” behind the work, not just the “what.”
• Contribute ideas during early concepting and brand development phases, helping shape creative direction within established guardrails.
• Stay current on design trends, tools, and emerging technologies (including AI-assisted workflows) that can enhance creative efficiency and output.

What You'll Bring:

• 3–6 years of professional experience in a creative agency, in-house brand team, or similar environment.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign); familiarity with presentation design and digital formats required.
• Experience designing for multiple channels, including print and digital.
• Exposure to packaging, retail, or eCommerce design is a plus.
• Interest in brand strategy, creative systems, and scalable design frameworks is strongly encouraged—even if still developing.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating brand-focused design, not just one-off executions—showing systems, consistency, and thoughtful application across touchpoints.
• Solid design fundamentals: typography, layout, color, hierarchy, and composition.
• Experience working within brand guidelines and contributing to their evolution.
• Comfort collaborating across disciplines and navigating feedback from multiple stakeholders.
• A balance of craft excellence and practical problem-solving.
• A proactive mindset with a desire to learn, grow, and take increasing ownership over time.
