ABOUT THOUGHT OVER DESIGN

We're on a mission to build brands with purpose. Over the last 12 years, we’ve partnered with a wide spectrum of exciting brands and grown into a thriving team of creatives and strategists.

We’re looking for a Senior Brand Designer who can bring clarity, imagination, and intent to the creative process — someone who thinks in thoughtful systems, invests deeply in the craft, and knows how to turn ideas into memorable brand design.

A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE

At Thought Over Design, the role of a Sr. Brand Designer is to conceptualize and implement design that can build meaning  — shape narratives, systems, and expressions that bring a brand’s purpose to life.

You’ll lead branding projects end-to-end, work closely with creative leadership, designers, strategists and project managers, and bring a sound POV to every stage of impactful creative work: from decoding the brief to crafting sharp identity concepts, visual languages, packaging systems, communication and so on.

If you’re passionate about thoughtful design and thrive in collaborative, idea-led environments — let’s connect.

Design Leadership

• Lead brand identity projects from insight to execution.
  
  

• Guide designers through process, feedback, reviews and recaliberations with clear direction.
  
  

• Facilitate cross-team co-creations with various creatives for e.g. writers, collaborators, design-researchers and so on.
  
  

• Translate strategy into powerful concepts, visual systems, and brand worlds.
  
  

• Set the creative pace on projects, ensuring a high level of craft and consistency along with timely progress.
  
  

• Present ideas with confidence, bringing clarity and conviction to clients.
  
  

• Partner with PMs to build workflows, meet milestones, avoid delays and maintain alignment between teams through the creative phase of a project.
  
  

• Help designers achieve success, grow,  upskill and address challenges.

Conceptual Thinking

• Unpack briefs, ask sharp questions, and design with intention.
  
  

• Understand business context and use research, culture, and insight to elevate the work.
  
  

• Bring a strong point of view to critiques and discussions; push beyond the obvious.
  
  

• Balance big-picture brand thinking with meticulous visual craft.
  
  

• Partner with strategists to shape cohesive brand worlds.
  
  

• Use storytelling - decks, moodboards, narratives - to shape strong creative arguments.

Craft, Systems & Execution

• Build flexible brand systems that work across mediums — identity, typography, packaging, digital, motion.
  
  
• Maintain a keen eye for grids, type, colour, composition, and editorial finesse.
  
  
• Move comfortably across styles, moods, and industries while maintaining your own sense of taste.
  
  
• Iterate openly, respond to feedback thoughtfully, and uphold high-quality standards across all deliverables.

Client Partnership

• Act as a trusted creative partner to clients, founders and brand teams.
  
  
• Communicate design decisions with clarity, empathy and conviction.
  
  
• Translate feedback into action while protecting the integrity of the creative process.

Studio  Ownership

• Elevate studio standards with fresh thinking, cultural awareness, and global references.
  
  
• Inspire the team through internal critiques, references, and curiosity.
  
  
• Support hiring decisions by identifying strong creative talent and collaborators.
  
  
• Help strengthen processes, organisation, and overall creative operations.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 8+ years of experience in a design studio, branding firm, or creative environment.
  
  
• An exceptional portfolio that demonstrates range, systems thinking, and craft.
  
  
• Strong skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign (Figma is a plus).
  
  
• A strategic mind that understands context, not just composition.
  
  
• Clear communication and presentation skills — you can hold your own with clients and creatives alike.
  
  
• Experience with mentoring designers and guiding younger talent.
  
  
• Ability to work across multiple projects without compromising detail or vision.
  
  
• Curiosity, initiative, taste — and the willingness to keep learning.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

• The opportunity to build purpose-led brands with ambitious founders.
  
  
• A chance to shape visual identities across categories and stages of growth.
  
  
• A warm, collaborative studio culture that values curiosity, craft, and initiative.
  
  
• A team that is supportive, sharp, and loves to work together and play together.
  
  
• Space to shape ideas, influence the creative process, and grow your voice as a designer.

If this feels like your kind of place, we’d love to meet you.
