Role Overview

As our Graphic Designer, you’ll take ownership of all customer-facing designs — both in-store and online.
You’ll collaborate closely with the marketing team to bring our event playbooks to life through captivating flyers, emails, and digital visuals.

This is the perfect role for a creative who enjoys designing for real-world impact, seeing their work featured in stores, events, and across Kawaii Corner’s marketing channels.

• Support creative direction for membership perks, bundle promotions, and seasonal campaigns.
• Stay inspired by Japanese pop culture and kawaii design trends.

What We’re Looking For

• Proficiency in Canva or Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).
• Strong understanding of layout, color, typography, and visual hierarchy.
• 1–3 years of design experience (retail, fashion, toy, or lifestyle brand experience is a plus).
• Bonus if you’re familiar with email design in tools like Klaviyo or Mailchimp.
• Passion for Japanese culture, toys, and collectibles — you should love designing cute, emotional visuals.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, event-driven environment.

Why You’ll Love Working Here
