- Design across formats: social media, exhibition graphics, print and digital communication
- Bring strong storytelling into everything you design
- Help build and maintain design systems and communication structures for the studio
- Work closely with the team to shape the visual language for the studio
- Travel to craft clusters and field locations to observe, photograph, and record stories
- Turn research, processes, conversations, and material culture into compelling communication
Skills We’d Love
- Proficient in - Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom
- Strong typography and layout skills
- Understanding of print production and digital formats
- Good illustration and sketching skills would be a huge bonus!
- Motion, video, or editorial experience is a plus
