We're a collective of uniquely talented creatives, and we're looking for a designer who's ready to make a real impact. As the leading health and wellness communications agency in South Africa, we partner with a diverse range of clients from consumer health brands to skincare, public health initiatives, and even prescription medications.

The Work:

The Briefing Process:

• You'll take ownership of the briefing process, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the project objectives by requesting a kickstart session or asking questions for clarity.
  

Design Inspiration:

• You'll maintain a curated collection of inspiring design, art direction, photography, animation, and other resources to fuel your creativity and growth.
