Creative Designer

The Creative Designer will work closely with Alienkind’s core creative team to turn ideas, briefs and references into strong visual work. You’ll contribute across social, campaigns, launches, events and brand communication, while building your understanding of how creative thinking becomes design. We’re looking for someone with strong visual fundamentals, curiosity and a genuine interest in why good design works — not someone who only knows how to use design software.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work closely with the core creative team on creative concepts and visual directions.

• Translate creative briefs and ideas into strong visual concepts.

• Design for social media, campaigns, launches, events, menus, digital and brand communication.

• Develop layouts, typography, compositions, graphic systems and visual treatments.

• Create social-first content across static posts, carousels, stories and other formats.

• Explore different visual directions instead of relying on one design style.

• Work with creative, marketing, social and content teams.

• Build moodboards, references and visual directions before execution.

• Experiment with trends, culture, typography, photography, illustration and emerging visual styles.

• Adapt designs across formats, platforms and campaign requirements.

• Take feedback, iterate quickly and improve work through multiple rounds.

• Maintain visual consistency while knowing when experimentation is appropriate.

• Organise working files, assets and final exports properly.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 0–2 years of design experience; freshers with strong portfolios can apply.

• Strong understanding of composition, typography, colour, hierarchy and visual storytelling.

• Proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator and/or Figma; knowledge of After Effects or other motion tools is a plus.

• Strong visual taste and curiosity.

• Ability to find references and understand why a visual works.

• Interest in culture, fashion, music, food, internet culture, advertising and contemporary design.

• Someone who doesn’t just ask “How do I make this?”, but “What should this look like, and why?”

• Strong portfolio/showreel demonstrating original thinking and execution.

WORKING WITH THE CORE CREATIVE TEAM

• Work directly with the core creative team from brief and initial idea through execution.

• Contribute references, visual ideas and design approaches during creative discussions.

• Learn how creative decisions around typography, composition, colour and layout shape audience response.

• Collaborate with other creatives to turn ideas into clear, distinctive and engaging design.

• Bring your own perspective while working within the wider creative direction of the team.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• You contribute ideas, not just execution.

• You understand why a visual works and keep developing your design instincts.

• You can take feedback and turn it into stronger work.

• You create work that is clear, distinctive and appropriate to the platform.

• You become a stronger designer through experimentation, collaboration and consistent practice.
