We are seeking a Graphic Designer with strong hands-on experience and independent creative maturity—someone who has built a practice around craft, visual clarity and problem-solving. Ideal candidates may come from a smaller studio environment or have run their own design practice, bringing both creative ownership and practical know-how. This role supports SCDA, Soori and Ilora across brand identity, marketing, presentations and digital communication.
The Role
- Design across print, digital, presentations, branding, social media and large-format materials.
- Develop marketing and business development materials (presentations, proposals, brochures).
- Produce hoarding designs, project signage and large-format layouts.
- Liaise with vendors on colour accuracy, materials and press proofs.
- Prepare accurate pre-press and production-ready artwork.
- Use AI-assisted tools to support workflow, ideation, image creation and layout development.
Experience
- Degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication or related field.
- 8–12 years experience in a design-led environment (boutique studio, independent practice, or client-facing creative role).
- Experience owning or running a design studio or freelance practice is welcomed.
- Comfortable working autonomously without corporate structures or layers.
Skills
- Strong eye for layout, typography, proportion and visual identity.
- Proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat).
- Proficient in Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Working knowledge of AI design tools (e.g., Firefly, Midjourney, AI-assisted layout tools).
- Familiarity with motion or video editing (Premiere Pro / After Effects) is an advantage.
- Understanding of print and digital production, colour management and file optimisation.
Key Attributes
- Self-driven, resourceful and comfortable working with creative independence.
- Not a corporate designer — adaptable, hands-on, and used to delivering real project work.
- Clear communicator with good organisational skills.
- Detail-oriented and able to handle multiple timelines.
- Collaborative, open, and comfortable learning new tools and techniques.
