Senior Graphic Designer

Do you have a passion for great design? Do you obsess over every small detail of type and color and layout? Is the tracking right, is the leading correct, should the text be one point larger? If yes, you're not alone. At Imagemakers we're also a little obsessive with type and layout.

Our clients are located all over the world and range from professional sports teams and flower exporters in South America, to Fortune 500 manufacturers and non-profits. Our design team never tires of using the same ol' font and imagery styles due to the diversity of projects and clients.

Brand identity systems, brochures, packaging and ads are just part of what we design at Imagemakers. Our team also works to design websites and user interfaces for apps, 3D product configurators, industrial IoT systems, and more. 

Imagemakers is a close knit team of dreamers and problem solvers. We're an award winning brand and digital experience firm where strategists, project managers, designers and developers solve unique business challenges. 

As Senior Graphic Designer, you'll work closely with our Experience Directors (XDs) and design leaders on a mix of brand, traditional, and digital projects. Your work will play a key role in Imagemakers' success as you tackle these responsibilities:
