Senior Designer(s)

Job Description:

We’re looking for a senior designer to join the NARI team in our Dalston based studio. We are a small core team, working across contemporary culture, fashion, beauty, art, and design for both start-ups and established global brands.

The role will be to lead on creative projects – from ideation through to production – using conceptual thought, creative practice, and brand strategy to execute meaningful and compelling design. As a lead creative you will be confident in your work, able to articulate your ideas, detail orientated, and importantly, have a strong and genuine interest in visual culture.

As we’re a small team, your ideas and work will not be diluted, and will often be put directly in front of the client. With this in mind, we’re looking for someone who can take initiative, and at times, ideate outside of direction. It’s also important that you feel comfortable discussing projects with both our clients and your peers, as well as getting stuck in with building decks and supporting junior designers.
