Senior Designer

Remote · Full-Time

Salary: ₱1,200,000–₱1,600,000 PHP per year, depending on experience and portfolio.

You believe good design earns its place.

That strategy gives creativity direction. That curiosity leads to better ideas. And that the most memorable brands aren’t built on trends, they’re built on thoughtful thinking.

You care just as much about the why as the what. You bring high standards without a big ego, take ownership without waiting to be asked and know that the smallest details often have the biggest impact.

You’re mildly offended by typos. You appreciate beautifully kerned menus. And yes, you’ve interrupted a conversation to identify a typeface in the wild. We completely understand.

We’re a small independent design studio with big ambitions.

We partner with founders and growing brands who care deeply about what they’re building, and they expect the same from us.

We don’t believe design is the finish line. We believe it’s a tool to help businesses grow. That means asking better questions, thinking commercially, sweating the details and creating brands that people don’t just admire, but remember, trust and choose.

Our work spans brand identity, e-commerce, websites, packaging, campaigns and ongoing creative partnerships, so no two projects look exactly the same.

Around here, curiosity is part of the job. Not just curiosity about design, but about people, business, psychology, culture and technology. The best designers we’ve met are curious people first. Design just happens to be how they make sense of the world.

We’re building a studio where quality beats quantity, ideas matter more than hierarchy and kindness and high standards happily coexist.

We’re also a remote-first team, and most of us work Australian hours, so we’re looking for someone who can maintain meaningful overlap with the rest of the team during the day. Beyond that, we trust people to manage their own time, communicate openly and do their best work wherever they’re most productive.

This is a senior, hands-on design role.

We’re looking for someone who can take a brief, understand the business problem, establish a strong creative direction and then roll up their sleeves and bring it to life.

You’ll have genuine creative ownership of projects, while still spending the majority of your time designing.

We don’t want to prescribe every creative decision or hand you a perfectly resolved direction to execute. We want to give you the context, strategy and problem we’re trying to solve, then trust you to explore, think and come back with an exciting point of view.

You’ll work closely with our founder and wider creative team, but you’ll also be trusted to independently lead projects, present your thinking to clients and take work from an early idea through to beautifully considered execution.

In other words, we’re not simply looking for another pair of hands. We’re looking for another creative brain.

Take creative ownership. Lead branding and digital projects from strategy and concept development through to final execution. You’ll be trusted to develop the creative direction, not simply execute one that’s been handed to you.

Turn strategy into ideas. Translate positioning, customer insights and commercial objectives into distinctive creative concepts and brand worlds that have a reason to exist.

Design. A lot. This is a hands-on role. You’ll create brand identities, websites, e-commerce experiences, packaging, campaigns and other brand touchpoints across both digital and physical environments.

Think beyond the logo. Build cohesive visual worlds through typography, colour, art direction, imagery, layout, packaging, digital and campaign applications.

Present your thinking. Take clients through creative work confidently, helping them understand not just what you’re proposing, but why.

Build systems, not just beautiful assets. Create thoughtful, scalable design systems that work across channels and are practical for clients and teams to use.

Collaborate across disciplines. Work closely with developers, freelancers and specialists to make sure the creative idea carries through to execution.

Support other designers. Share knowledge and thoughtful feedback when needed, helping raise the standard of work across the team while remaining deeply involved in your own projects.

Keep the commercial goal in sight. Understand what the client is ultimately trying to achieve and consider the customer, market and business alongside the aesthetics.

Help us get better. Bring ideas for improving our processes, experimenting with new tools and technology and continually raising the creative standard of the studio.

You don’t need to have done everything, but you’ll probably bring most of the following:

• 6+ years of experience across brand, graphic or digital design, ideally within an agency or design studio
• A genuinely strong portfolio demonstrating strategic thinking, original concepts and exceptional visual craft
• Experience taking creative ownership of projects rather than simply executing someone else’s direction
• Confidence developing complete brand identity systems and broader brand worlds
• An exceptional understanding of typography, layout, colour, composition and visual storytelling
• Strong art direction and image-making instincts
• Experience designing responsive websites and digital experiences in Figma
• Confidence creating organised, implementation-ready files for developer handover
• Packaging experience, including preparing artwork for print and production
• Highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop
• A strong understanding of both digital and print production
• Confidence presenting directly to clients and articulating the thinking behind your work
• Strong organisation and the ability to manage your time across multiple projects
• Curiosity about emerging technology, AI, culture and where the creative industry is heading
• The ability to work autonomously in a remote environment while collaborating openly with the wider team
• A meticulous eye for detail and genuine pride in producing polished, high-quality work

Experience across e-commerce, Shopify or DTC brands would be particularly valuable.

You’re a thinker as much as a maker. You want to understand the business, customer and problem before opening Figma.

You have taste, but you can explain it. Your decisions aren’t based on “I just think this looks better.” You can articulate why something works.

You take ownership. Give you the goal and enough context and you’ll work out how to get there. You don’t need someone directing every decision.

You’re conceptually strong. You can explore multiple ways into a problem and recognise when an idea has the potential to become something distinctive.

You’re curious. About design, people, brands, culture, technology, psychology and whatever rabbit hole you fell into this week.

You’re commercially minded. You understand we’re designing for real businesses and real customers, not just our own portfolios.

You’re collaborative. You communicate clearly, give thoughtful feedback and enjoy working with clients, developers and other creatives.

You have high standards without the ego. You care deeply about producing exceptional work, see feedback as an opportunity to make it better and are genuinely lovely to work with.

Most importantly, you want to be part of building a studio, not just filling a role.

Or, to put it simply: we’re looking for someone who’s kind, curious, commercially minded and quietly obsessed with doing great work.

Send your portfolio and a short note about why this role caught your eye to [email protected].

We’d particularly love to see 2–3 projects where you had genuine creative ownership. Tell us what the challenge was, what you were personally responsible for and how you arrived at the creative direction.

If this sounds suspiciously like you but you don’t tick every box, apply anyway.

We’re much more interested in how you think, the quality of your work and what you could bring to the studio than a perfect checklist.
