Company Description
Ikka Dukka is an Irish-Indian lifestyle brand creating distinctive, beautifully crafted products and gifts inspired by Indian craft, materials and design.
We design and develop our own collections as well as creating bespoke gifting for corporate clients, weddings and events. We work closely with skilled artisans and manufacturers across India, combining traditional techniques with contemporary design to create products that feel both distinctive and relevant.
Our work ranges from product and packaging design to complete gifting concepts. We are a small, ambitious team, so designers have the opportunity to be involved in the entire process — from the initial idea and client brief through to seeing the finished product being made.
Role Description
We are looking for a Creative & Product Designer to join our team in Delhi.
This is a hands-on creative role for someone who enjoys coming up with ideas, developing products and packaging, and working with clients to turn a brief into something genuinely special.
You will work closely with the founders and the wider team to develop gifting concepts, gift boxes, packaging and new products for both Ikka Dukka and our corporate clients.
The role will involve:
- Understanding client briefs and developing creative concepts and visual directions
- Designing gift boxes, packaging and physical products
- Creating moodboards, sketches, presentations and design proposals for clients
- Developing concepts from an initial idea through to a finished product
- Exploring materials, colours, finishes, textures and craft techniques
- Working directly with Indian artisans, manufacturers and suppliers to bring designs to life
- Creating prototypes and mock-ups and refining designs based on feedback
- Presenting ideas confidently to clients and helping shape the creative direction of projects
- Researching interesting products, materials, craft and design from India and around the world
- Working on new product development for Ikka Dukka's own collections
- Managing multiple projects and deadlines, particularly during the busy Diwali gifting season
You will have significant creative ownership and will see your ideas move from a sketch or concept into real products that are produced and delivered to clients.
What We're Looking For
We are looking for someone with a strong creative eye who is equally comfortable designing, thinking and communicating.
You should have:
- A strong portfolio demonstrating product, packaging, lifestyle or related design work
- Excellent visual sense and an understanding of colour, proportion, materials and detail
- The ability to take a loose brief and develop it into a compelling creative concept
- Strong sketching and visualisation skills
- The ability to create polished presentations and moodboards
- An interest in physical products, materials, craft and manufacturing
- Good communication skills and the confidence to participate in client conversations and presentations
- The ability to work practically with manufacturers and suppliers and understand how an idea can actually be produced
- Good organisation and the ability to manage several projects at once
- Curiosity about design, interiors, fashion, art, architecture, craft and global trends
This is a full-time, on-site position in Delhi with an immediate start.
