Job description

About Open
Present, together.
Who we are:
Present, together. Our mission is simple: to make wellbeing accessible and inspiring for everyone, everywhere. Open is a modern studio reimagining the way people practice mindfulness. We blend music, sound, breath, and movement to create powerful shared experiences - both in-person and online. Inspired by art, culture, and design, we believe in the power of direct experience to transform lives.
Based in Venice, our growing team is diverse, ambitious, and dedicated to building the future of wellness. We're backed by Founders Fund (Keith Rabois), Susa, LVMH (Miyuki Matsumoto), Coatue (Arielle Zuckerberg), Slow, SV Angel, Maveron, Jack Dorsey, Adrian Aoun, Ben Rubin (Houseparty), and more.
The role:
We're looking for a contract Brand Designer to support creative across marketing, product, and brand. You'll design thoughtful, high-quality work that spans social, digital, print, in-app experiences, and campaigns while helping maintain a consistent visual identity as Open grows.
This role is ideal for someone with strong design fundamentals, excellent taste, and the ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality. You'll work closely with our marketing, content, and product teams to bring ideas from concept through execution.
What you'll work on
  • Social content and campaign visuals built to feel native to the brand
  • Marketing assets across digital and print
  • In-app graphics and supporting visual content
  • Seasonal and editorial moments

You're a fit if you
  • Have 2-4 years of graphic design experience, ideally with some exposure to editorial or lifestyle brands.
  • Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, etc)
  • Motion design or animation experience
  • Have a strong typography sensibility and can work within (and push) an existing design system
  • Are comfortable moving fast - this is a contract role with active production needs
  • Are willing to explore AI workflows

BONUS
  • Video editing experience is a plus
  • An existing practice in mindfulness, movement, or well-being
  • Experience designing for mobile apps or hybrid brands
  • LA Based

Contract / Freelance • Hybrid • Los Angeles, CA (Remote flexible)
