  • Design product packaging and branded merchandise as needed
  • Collaborate with strategists and project managers to ensure designs align with client goals and brand voice
  • Manage multiple design projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines and maintaining quality
  • Present design concepts and incorporate feedback in a professional, client-ready manner

Qualifications

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating logo design, branding, and both print and digital layout work
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and/or Canva Pro
  • Solid understanding of typography, color theory, and layout principles
  • Ability to adapt your design style to match a wide range of client brands and industries
  • Strong communication skills and ability to take and incorporate feedback gracefully
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines

Preferred Experience

  • Experience designing for social media platforms and creating template systems
  • Familiarity with Wix, WordPress, or other website platforms
  • Experience with motion graphics or basic video editing for social content
  • Passion for working with small businesses and seeing your designs make a real difference

The right fit for Moonwake is someone who is:

  • Self-directed and reliable
  • Can be available during normal working hours for client & team meetings
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced agency environment
  • Flexible and collaborative
  • Professional in client-facing or team-facing communication

What We Offer:
