About the Role: Senior Graphic Designer We’re looking for a concept-driven Senior Graphic Designer with exceptional taste, a strong point of view, and a passion for visual storytelling.

 • 6+ years of professional graphic design experience • A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking, visual storytelling, typography, layout, and cross-channel execution • Advanced proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign • A strong understanding of brand systems and the ability to apply them consistently while evolving the work • Experience designing for both digital and print, with knowledge of current digital best practices and print production • Experience supporting photography from shoot planning and on-set collaboration through post-production • Experience working with cross-functional teams and managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment • Strong communication, collaboration, organization, and time-management skills • Working knowledge of motion, animation, or video-editing tools such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or equivalent is a plus Location: This role is ideally based in Orange County and able to work from our Costa Mesa office four days a week.

This role is also eligible for a 10% annual bonus.
