We’re seeking a junior Graphic Designer to join our team on a contract basis (3–6 months, with opportunity to transition to full time). In this role, you’ll support both product development and marketing creative, playing a key part in shaping how our products look and feel on shelves and online. You’ll work closely with our lead product designer to deliver packaging, promotional content, and digital assets that resonate with our customers. This is a hands-on role where your designs will move quickly from concept to execution—often landing in weeks.

• Maintain brand consistency across all visual assets while experimenting with fresh, innovative design approaches.
• Prepare product listings and images for e-commerce and wholesale distribution.
• Assist the lead designer with end-to-end design-to-production workflows.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree or current Junior/Senior in Graphic Design or related field.
• Proven design experience with a portfolio showing creativity in print and digital formats.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Canva) and related design tools.
• Strong sense of typography, color theory, and visual composition.
• Interest in cosmetics, beauty, or consumer products is a plus.
• Excited to learn the full “soup-to-nuts” design process in beauty/CPG.
• Positive, flexible, and eager to thrive in a small but fast-paced team environment.
• Must be available to work on-site (Vernon, Los Angeles).

What We Offer

• Opportunity to see your designs move from concept to production in real time.
• Mentorship from an experienced lead designer.
• Comprehensive exposure to packaging, product, and digital design.
• A chance to contribute directly to brands distributed in national retailers.
• Contract Length: 3–6 months (with potential extension).
