· Communicate design concepts and ideas effectively to the team and stakeholders.
· Inspire, inform, and captivate consumers through original design ideas.
· Continuously evaluate and improve the design process, tools, and techniques to ensure that it is efficient, effective, and innovative.
· Adhere to design standards, brand guidelines, and quality control procedures to ensure that all products meet the highest standards of quality and design excellence.
Requirements:
· Understand how design adds to the user experience and commercial value.
· Be a problem solver and make an impact on the company's success.
· Proven ability to effectively interpret briefs and design within brand guidelines
· Strong layout, typography, and photo-editing skills

This position will allow you to join a close-knit and talented team and offers the chance to take creative ownership over existing and yet-to-be-imagined product ranges within an established retail organisation.
