The Junior Designer will be joining their in-house studio team that is focused on production and design services for the larger organization. You will be developing original designs, reviewing edits, executing production-ready materials, pre-flighting and releasing files to vendors.

- Produce print and digital materials including direct mail, catalogs, emails, banners and video
- Create print and digital layouts, make edits, test and preflight files and release final assets
The ideal Junior Designer will have:
- 1+ years of experience in a design role; retail or corporate experience a plus!
- A portfolio showcasing your work across print and digital
- Basic understanding of After Effects (creating videos from storyboards ideally)
- Expertise in Indesign
- Ability to manage multiple projects at once with different timelines
