Associate Brand Designer
The Role:
We’re hiring an Associate Brand Designer to help shape the visual identity of brands people genuinely connect with.
Not the kind of design work that disappears into a deck somewhere. The kind that shows up on shelves, in feeds, on websites, in inboxes, and in the moments that make someone stop scrolling, start shopping, or become a fan.
At Habitat, designers don’t sit in a silo waiting for assignments to hit their desk. You’ll work alongside designers, copywriters, social creatives, photographers, videographers, developers, and account teams to bring ideas to life across every touchpoint.
This role is ideal for a designer with a strong foundation who’s ready to level up. Someone who loves great typography, thoughtful systems, beautiful details, and the challenge of creating work that looks good and performs.
You’ll report to our Associate Creative Director and/or their designees and collaborate closely with our Brand Design team.

OUR CULTURE
We don’t believe culture is ping-pong tables or free snacks (though we’re not mad about snacks).
Culture is how we show up for each other, how we think about the work, and how we treat the brands that trust us with theirs.
Some days are heads-down and deadline-driven. Others are loud, collaborative, and full of ideas flying across the room. We make space for both. We celebrate wins. We support each other through the hard stuff. We laugh a lot. Sometimes at inappropriate times. It’s fine. We’re professionals who know every day is better working together.
READY?
Send us your portfolio, your resume, and a short note about a brand whose visual identity you admire right now — and what you think makes it work so well.
We’d love to see how you think, not just what you’ve made.
