This is an independent creative studio with a client list that runs from early-stage founders to recognised streaming, fintech and tech brands – the studio gets brought in before the product exists. When a frontier AI company needed a brand for its agentic browser, the brief wasn’t a roadmap; it was a starting point, and the studio built the identity from there. That’s the kind of work on the table here: brand and launch projects for AI pioneers and ambitious startups, often shaped before there’s anything concrete to design around.
The Role You’ll lead brand design projects end-to-end – identity and visual systems, digital and physical applications – working directly with clients. There’s no project management layer and no account buffer, so you present your own thinking, defend it, and shape early creative direction rather than executing someone else’s. Brand design is a growing discipline here, with one or two more brand designers joining in the next few months, so how the team levels and evolves is still being written, and you’d have a hand in that.
The Package $80,000 – $100,000 Remote-first working Team spanning the US & Europe Preference for EST overlap, but open to European candidates The Person You’re either a Senior Brand Designer, or a mid-level one with three or four years who’s clearly exceptional. You’ve owned identity work directly with clients, not through account teams, and you’re comfortable presenting and running project phases on your own.
You want to contribute ideas, not just produce to brief. This studio doesn’t offer structure or hand-holding; it offers autonomy and the room to use it.
