Job Description

NVE is a brand experience and production agency dedicated to building ideas rooted in culture and guided by the principle that ‘The Right Moment Will Transform Someone Forever.’ NVE’s team of creatives, strategists and producers develop insight-driven ideas rooted in culture to convert consumer attention into commitment, action, and brand loyalty.

Summary of Position:

As a Graphic Designer at NVE, you will help shape visually compelling brand experiences and campaigns through thoughtful design, strong creative instincts, and a deep understanding of craft and storytelling.

This is a mid-level role for designers who are capable of owning and driving design deliverables with guidance while contributing meaningfully to the broader creative process. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, creatives, strategists, producers, and clients to develop work that is rooted in culture, strategically grounded, and executed with care and precision.

At NVE, Graphic Designers are more than executors — they are trusted creative contributors who help translate ideas into visual systems and experiences that create emotional impact in the real world. As your experience grows, so does your ownership: of your work, your creative point of view, and your contribution to the broader Design Studio.

Role Priorities:

• Design and develop visual assets, systems, and graphic applications across a range of brand experiences and campaigns
• Own design deliverables from concept development through production with increasing independence and accountability
• Collaborate with cross-functional creative teams to develop thoughtful, strategically grounded creative work
• Contribute visual thinking and design perspectives during brainstorming sessions, critiques, and collaborative working sessions
• Translate creative concepts into cohesive visual systems across physical and digital touchpoints
• Present design work internally and contribute to client presentations with growing confidence and clarity around creative rationale
• Maintain high standards of craft, consistency, and attention to detail throughout the design process
• Develop a strong understanding of client brands and apply that knowledge consistently across design deliverables
• Actively explore culture, design trends, emerging technologies, and visual references to help push the work and studio forward
• Collaborate with and support more junior designers, sharing knowledge and contributing to a positive and creatively ambitious studio culture
• Prepare and organize production-ready files, collaborating closely with production partners and vendors to help ensure successful execution
• Manage multiple workstreams and priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced environment while remaining adaptable and solutions-oriented
• Participate in onsite installations and live experiences as opportunities arise, developing a deeper understanding of how design decisions translate into real-world execution

Qualifications:

• You have a portfolio that demonstrates strong design craft, conceptual thinking, and an understanding of how visual systems come to life across experiences and campaigns
• You embody NVE’s behaviors — be courageous, be committed, be curious, be catalysts, and be good citizens
• You are highly proficient in industry-standard design tools (Adobe Creative Suite required; familiarity with motion, 3D, and AI-supported workflows is a plus)
• You actively explore emerging creative technologies and are developing fluency in how tools like AI can enhance and expand the design process
• You have strong visual communication skills and can articulate design rationale thoughtfully and clearly
• You are capable of managing your own deliverables and workstreams while collaborating effectively within larger creative teams
• You bring a strong point of view and creative curiosity while remaining collaborative, adaptable, and open to feedback
• You care deeply about craft, culture, storytelling, and the details that elevate great design work
• You are a lifelong student of creativity and design — and it shows
• You have 3–5 years of experience working as a professional designer
