Senior Designer

About the Company

My client is one of Ireland's most awarded and respected independent design studios. For over 25 years they have set the standard for brand-driven design in this market, partnering with ambitious businesses, from category leaders to challenger brands, to build identities and experiences rooted in form, feeling and function. Their work is the kind people in the industry recognise on sight. A small, senior team of thinkers, planners and makers, they bring real depth to every project, from packaging and digital to immersive environments, and they have built a reputation on work that is visually exceptional, emotionally resonant and commercially sharp. This is not a volume studio. It is a place for designers who want their best work to be seen and remembered.

Why this one matters

You will join a studio that has spent decades earning its reputation and has the awards and the client roster to back it up.

If you are driven by shape, nuance and making work that lands in the real world and gets remembered, this is the studio.
