Brand Designer (Freelance)

Job Description

About the role

[REDACTED] is an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species. We are a small self-funded team focused on design, human infrastructure, and AI.

We're looking for a talented visual designer to shape how [REDACTED] shows up in the world. We are looking for someone with a fresh, opinionated, and high-quality design foundation who can create work that feels distinct, not what’s now but what’s next.

You'll partner closely with the leadership on campaigns and visual storytelling across earned and owned channels. This is a freelance engagement with potential for a long-term partnership as the work (and team) grows.

What you'll do

• Design campaign visuals: ads, social, launches — from concept through finished assets
• Bring editorial design sensibility to our owned channels: email/welcome series, blog, campaign imagery
• Develop visual systems that are expressive rather than corporate
• Partner with marketing on what earned and owned should look and feel like
• Collaborate async with a small, fast-moving team

You might be a fit if

• You're a senior IC — roughly 5–8 years in — with a portfolio of expressive, culturally fluent graphic design: editorial, campaigns, identities across print and digital
• Typography and composition are your first language
• You can direct as well as execute: you've shaped campaigns, not just produced assets for them
• You're plugged into visual culture across art, fashion, publishing, music, and the internet
• You work well remote and independently

Nice to have

• Editorial/publication experience (print or digital magazines)
• Motion or illustration
• You already make things with generative tools

Logistics

• Freelance/contract, part-time to start, with room to grow
• Fully remote, anywhere. No travel required (though you're always welcome in SF)

To apply

Send your portfolio. We care about taste, range, and point of view.
