Junior Graphic Designer

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Junior Graphic Designer who is equally comfortable working within strict brand guidelines and creating bold, original visual identities from scratch. This role sits at the intersection of two distinct workstreams: adapting licensed character artwork for physical product application, and building out the visual language of an exciting new in-house consumer brand. You will be responsible for print-ready production artwork as well as digital and social content — making this a genuinely varied, creative role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Licensed Brand Work (approx. 50%)

•     Adapt licensed character artwork (flat, embroidery, screen print, woven label formats) for placement on bags and accessories, within licensor-approved brand guidelines

•     Prepare print-ready, production-spec artwork files — correct colour mode, bleed, resolution, and registration marks for each print method

•     Liaise with the product design team to ensure artwork placement is accurate to tech packs and construction constraints

•     Manage artwork versioning and file organisation across multiple SKUs and product ranges

•     Prepare artwork approval submissions and address licensor feedback efficiently

In-house Brand Work (approx. 50%)

•     Develop and maintain the visual identity of our in-house D2C brand — typography, colour systems, illustration style, packaging, and swing tags

•     Design social media content (static posts, stories, reels covers) for Instagram and other platforms

•     Create e-commerce assets — product images, banners, category graphics — for online retail channels

•     Build lookbook layouts and promotional collateral for B2B and D2C campaigns

•     Translate brand positioning into consistent, on-trend visual executions across digital and print touchpoints

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

•     Degree or diploma in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related discipline

•     1–3 years of professional experience in graphic design (agency, in-house, or studio)

•     Expert proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop — vector artwork, colour separation, and print production are non-negotiable

•     Solid working knowledge of Adobe InDesign for multi-page layout (lookbooks, catalogues, product sheets)

•     Strong understanding of print production requirements: CMYK vs spot colour, screen printing, embroidery digitising constraints, bleed/trim setup

•     Demonstrated ability to design social media content (Instagram in particular) that is on-trend and platform-appropriate

•     Familiarity with Canva for rapid content production and team collaboration

•     A strong portfolio demonstrating both disciplined, guideline-led work AND original brand/identity projects

•     Attention to detail in file naming, version control, and production handoff

•     Good written and verbal communication in English

GOOD TO HAVE

•     Experience working with licensed IP from entertainment, character, or lifestyle brands

•     Basic motion graphics or Reels/short-video editing skills (After Effects, CapCut, or similar)

•     Interest in sustainable or eco-conscious branding aesthetics

•     Prior experience in fashion, accessories, or retail brand environments

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

•     A genuinely dual-track creative role — you will not be doing only social posts or only production files

•     The opportunity to build a new brand identity from an early stage

•     A collaborative team where design decisions are taken seriously

•     Performance-linked salary reviews at the end of the probation period
