Description

About Us

Disturbia is an independent alternative fashion brand creating clothing and experiences for a global community drawn to the unconventional. Our visual identity is distinctive, culturally aware and always evolving.

The Role

As the third Graphic Designer in the team, you will focus on the strategic, concept-led projects that build Disturbia's brand impression and identity. Rather than owning business-as-usual design requests, you will partner closely with the Brand team to originate ideas and turn them into memorable customer-facing experiences across social, packaging, PR, activations and evolving brand identities. You will take projects from early thinking through to final production.

We will only review applications that have relevant portfolio attached / website links attached.

Key Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

• Partner with the Brand team to develop original creative concepts that strengthen Disturbia's identity and customer perception.
• Lead strategic design projects, including campaign identities, loyalty concepts, PR mailers, packaging and branded customer touchpoints.
• Create distinctive social-first graphics and culturally relevant creative that builds brand recognition and audience connection.
• Translate brand strategy and creative direction into clear visual systems, design routes and polished executions.
• Own projects from initial research and concept development through stakeholder sign-off, artwork, production and ordering.
• Develop creative assets for physical brand activations, including event graphics, signage, vinyls and campaign materials.
• Bring cultural, fashion and design references into creative conversations, exploring new formats while protecting brand consistency.
• Support the Print team on selected projects through graphic development, illustration or visual concepting when required.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

The Ideal Person

• A conceptual thinker who starts with the idea and purpose before moving into execution.
• Culturally curious and inspired by art, music, literature, fashion and subculture rather than short-lived trends.

• Proactive and self-directed, comfortable creating momentum from an open brief or early-stage opportunity.
• A generous collaborator who enjoys building ideas with Brand, Marketing, Print and other creative partners.
