This is a mid-level role for a multidisciplinary designer who can move comfortably between brand systems, campaign creative, presentations, social and content, digital experiences, and emerging AI-driven workflows.

- Translate creative concepts and brand systems across multiple formats and platforms while maintaining consistency and craft.
- Bring strong digital design capabilities to projects, including web, mobile, social, interactive, and screen-based experiences.
- Collaborate with Creative Directors and Art Directors to develop concepts from early exploration through final execution.
- Create layouts, design systems, moodboards, visual explorations, mockups, and polished presentation materials.
- Work closely with experiential and production teams to translate graphic systems into physical environments when needed.
- Incorporate generative AI tools and workflows into the creative process for visual exploration, image generation, concept development, prototyping, and production.
- Experiment with emerging AI platforms and creative technologies, helping the team identify new ways to expand creative possibilities and improve workflows.
- Retouch, manipulate, composite, and refine imagery—including AI-generated assets—to ensure final work meets MATTE’s creative standards.
- Prepare and organize design files for production, development, animation, fabrication, or other downstream teams.
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously while maintaining a high level of attention to detail.
- Participate actively in critiques, brainstorms, and collaborative working sessions.
Qualifications & Requirements:
- 3–5 years of professional design experience, ideally within a creative agency, design studio, brand, or similarly fast-paced creative environment.
- A portfolio demonstrating excellent graphic design fundamentals, particularly typography, layout, composition, visual hierarchy, and brand thinking.
- Experience designing across both static and digital formats.
- Strong command of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
- Working knowledge of Figma and experience designing for digital platforms.
- Hands-on experience with generative AI creative tools and an understanding of how AI can support visual development and creative workflows.
- Experience with tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Runway, Flora, ChatGPT, or similar emerging platforms is strongly preferred.
- Ability to move between established brand guidelines and more open-ended conceptual assignments.
- Strong visual taste and an awareness of contemporary design, art, fashion, music, entertainment, technology, and culture.
- Ability to take feedback, iterate quickly, and contribute thoughtfully to a collaborative creative process.
- Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Curiosity and a willingness to experiment, learn new tools, and push beyond familiar design solutions.
- This role requires 4x days per week in office (Monday-Thursday), remote work day on Fridays.
