The Studio

Working onsite for a global premium brand, in the health, beauty, and lifestyle space. The studio is currently in Central London but will soon be moving into a newly developed sustainable building in SW London, where you can enjoy the beautiful, landscaped gardens and surroundings.

The Opportunity

Working within a small but exciting team, you will work as a senior designer across multiple aspects of design, from packaging to presentations to key visuals and more. You’ll be able to conceptualise through initial scamping and then be able to bring your ideas to life through Mac visuals. If you can use 3D software to optimise your designs, then this is a massive bonus. You’ll be working within a small team, so your communication and personable manner are key. This is a client facing role, and the opportunity is currently part-time and hybrid, working three days a week, two of which are in the office, and one will be from home. However, as the role progresses, you’ll need to be able to flex into more days if needed.
