📎 About the Job

Role : Brand Designer [a.k.a. Brand Architect]

🌳 Introduction

Do you see typography as tone and layout as language? Do grids make your heart sing and whitespace make you breathe easy?

Then you might be the brand thinker we've been looking for.

Someone who doesn’t just make things look good—but makes them mean something.

Whether it’s finessing the tiniest kerning or building out an entire visual language, you believe every detail matters.

If you relate to all or most of these things, and are excited to discover our world of design, what are you waiting for? Come, join our community of carbons!
