ABOUT US
Disturbia is an independent alternative fashion brand creating clothing and experiences for a global community drawn to the unconventional. Our visual identity is distinctive, culturally aware and always evolving.
THE ROLE
As the third Graphic Designer in the team, you will focus on the strategic, concept-led projects that build Disturbia's brand impression and identity. Rather than owning business-as-usual design requests, you will partner closely with the Brand team to originate ideas and turn them into memorable customer-facing experiences across social, packaging, PR, activations and evolving brand identities. You will take projects from early thinking through to final production.
We will only review applications that have relevant portfolio attached / website links attached.

- Own projects from initial research and concept development through stakeholder sign-off, artwork, production and ordering.
- Develop creative assets for physical brand activations, including event graphics, signage, vinyls and campaign materials.
