Graphic Designer
Position Summary & Responsibilities
Graphic Designer - Brand & Communications
Allied Maker is seeking an exceptional graphic designer to work closely with our creative leadership across brand, editorial, digital, print, and physical environments.
We are an American design and manufacturing company creating architectural lighting from our New York studios and factory. Our work sits at the intersection of design, architecture, craft, material, and culture, and we are looking for a designer capable of communicating at that same level.
We are particularly interested in emerging designers and recent graduates from leading art and design programs, or candidates with an equivalent level of rigorous visual training.
This is not a role for someone who simply knows Adobe software. We are looking for someone with taste.
What You’ll Work On
You’ll help shape and execute Allied Maker’s visual language across:
- Brand identity and visual systems
- Catalogs, lookbooks, brochures, and editorial pieces
- Product launches and collection presentations
- Website and digital design
- Social and campaign creative
- Invitations, events, exhibitions, and special projects
- Sales presentations and client-facing materials
- Packaging and printed collateral
- Showroom, factory, and environmental graphics
- Image layouts, typography, retouching, and art direction support
Some projects will be highly considered and conceptual. Others will need to be beautiful, accurate, and out the door today. You should be comfortable with both.
Who We’re Looking For
Your portfolio should demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of typography, grids, hierarchy, proportion, composition, image-making, and visual systems.
We are drawn to designers whose work feels considered rather than decorated; people who understand that the smallest typographic or compositional decision can change the entire character of a piece.
You are:
- Exceptional with typography
- Highly sensitive to proportion, spacing, hierarchy, and composition
- Fluent in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop
- Able to take a strong creative direction and elevate it through execution
- Comfortable generating multiple intelligent design solutions
- Fast without becoming careless
- Extremely detail-oriented
Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights
Interviewers strictly assess an uncompromising eye for minimalist architectural/industrial design paired with rigorous operational craftsmanship.
