About the role

Agency X is seeking a fast-paced, highly conceptual creative graphic designer/art director to join our team on-site in Bali. 

We need someone who can thrive in the early, experimental phases of a project, turning concepts into distinct aesthetic directions quickly.  We are looking for an exceptionally strong creative graphic designer with the flair to art direct the visual direction and details.

We have a dedicated creative team working with a global retained client to build bespoke brand identities for a wide range of hospitality brands, including fine dining and speciality restaurants, lifestyle bars and cafés, membership clubs and health-focused brands.

The clients are impressive, the briefs are highly visual and inspiring, and the concepts are strong and ready to be realised.  Best of all, this role's scope is firmly focused on providing the visual inspiration for art direction and creative designs, and bringing them to life. 

You will partner with our Design Specialist (Brand Identity), whose role is to develop strategy, brand systems and guidelines, and you will work under the guidance of our Group Creative Director.  ​This is an on-site role based with our team in Bali.

What you will do

Develop visual directions: Generate diverse visual directions, mood boards, references, logo designs, typography, compositions, colour schemes and overall aesthetic languages.

Rapid prototyping: Inspire with multiple creative routes in the early stages of a project to help compare, sharpen and select the strongest direction.

Define the look and feel: guide the brand's overall aesthetic. Explore the holistic brand environment, including menus, signage, packaging, and physical touchpoint details.

Collaborate daily: Brainstorm with the team to generate ideas, enhance creative work and transform thoughts into clear visual concepts.

Craft and execute: Stay hands-on. You will develop and create the final graphic designs in partnership with the team, including menus, signage, stationery, collateral, packaging, social media templates, presentation pages and other hospitality branding applications.

What we're looking for

Deep versatility: We want to see a portfolio that showcases your ability to adapt across different aesthetics. For example, you should be able to design the identity of a Tokyo vinyl bar just as easily as a luxury fine-dining restaurant.

Agility & Mindset: You will have high creative energy, a low ego, a genuine love for rapid visual exploration and be comfortable working in a collaborative studio environment.

Relevant experience: Experience in developing or executing brand systems, ideally for the hospitality, lifestyle, food and beverage, fashion, culture or premium consumer industries.

Industry Eye: A strong understanding of contemporary premium food and beverage and lifestyle trends.

Creative visionary: Constant exploration and a hunger to investigate new ideas and visual styles. A taste maker with a radar for distinctive and creative art direction that defines trends.

Technical skills: Exceptionally strong core graphic design, typography and layout skills.  Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and professional design workflows.
