We're on a mission to build brands with purpose. Over the last 12 years, we’ve partnered with a wide spectrum of exciting brands and grown into a thriving team of creatives and strategists.
We’re looking for a Senior Brand Designer who can bring clarity, imagination, and intent to the creative process — someone who thinks in thoughtful systems, invests deeply in the craft, and knows how to turn ideas into memorable brand design.
A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE
At Thought Over Design, the role of a Sr. Brand Designer is to conceptualize and implement design that can build meaning — shape narratives, systems, and expressions that bring a brand’s purpose to life.
You’ll lead branding projects end-to-end, work closely with creative leadership, designers, strategists and project managers, and bring a sound POV to every stage of impactful creative work: from decoding the brief to crafting sharp identity concepts, visual languages, packaging systems, communication and so on.
If you’re passionate about thoughtful design and thrive in collaborative, idea-led environments — let’s connect.

- Set the creative pace on projects, ensuring a high level of craft and consistency along with timely progress.

Craft, Systems & Execution
- Build flexible brand systems that work across mediums — identity, typography, packaging, digital, motion.
- Maintain a keen eye for grids, type, colour, composition, and editorial finesse.
- Move comfortably across styles, moods, and industries while maintaining your own sense of taste.
