About the studio:

Studio Saol is a multidisciplinary design studio based on the West Coast of Ireland. We research and design innovative solutions to some of the major societal challenges expected to affect people and our planet in the years to come. We believe in a more sustainable future – by design. 

We are a studio of designers, architects, strategists and researchers fuelled by curiosity and optimism for the future. We believe in deep collaboration across disciplinary boundaries and work closely with a wide network of creative partners globally to continually expand our capabilities and impact.

The Role

We are looking for a talented and motivated visual designer to join our team and help us drive positive change. As part of the visual design team, you will work across large-scale exhibitions, mixed media pop-ups, digital products & websites, branding, art direction, 3D & animation. If you are a proactive, self-starter with a strong sense of creativity we encourage you to apply.

The ideal candidate will be able to self-organize and produce work with a clean & minimal visual style. You will be responsible for creating visual concepts in collaboration with the visual team lead and wider team members that seamlessly loop into our clients’ briefs; ensuring the content & artifacts created are in line with project objectives, and that there is consistency across all design touch-points.

 Project Types:

  • Digital design; websites, social media
  • Communications & marketing materials
  • Identity development & implementation
  • Photography & video editing
  • Art Direction & concepting
  • Editorial & typography
  • Exhibition design
  • Animation
  • Illustration
  • 3D scenes
  • Infographics & data visualisation

Responsibilities:

  • Supporting the design team by collaborating on a range of design projects.
  • Creating brand concepts & bringing them from concept to realization.
  • Excellent execution skills to bring concepts to life across mediums.
  • Managing your time and priorities; providing accurate time estimates for work.
  • Staying up to date on design across disciplines and best practices.
  • Revising designs based on client feedback accurately.
  • Creating content to support Studio Saol's organic social channels, highlighting the agency’s recent work and capabilities.

What we’d like to see:

  • 2+ years of experience in a digital or creative agency. However, we are also open to graduate applications.
  • Strong technical skills and in-depth knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, including After Effects, Illustrator, XD, and Photoshop. Experience in Figma is a bonus.
  • Extensive experience designing a variety of digital & print deliverables for a range of brands—including social content, landing pages, and more.
  • Animation skills across 2D & 3D are beneficial.
  • Experience in Webflow or development is a huge bonus.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing your ability to create engaging, effective digital & visual designs.
  • You have a strong eye for design and understanding grid systems, typography, information hierarchy, and composition.
  • You’re an innovative, creative thinker with the ability to create a range of visual concepts in a response to a brief.
  • You strive for excellence in all tasks—big and small—understanding the importance of both. You have an obsession with all the little details and are good at self-editing.
  • You’re curious about the latest industry trends and are committed to staying on top of design best practices.
  • Experience collaborating with teammates (strategists, other designers, developers, and more) as well as clients.
  • You’re a positive team player.
  • A passionate self-starter capable of learning quickly and taking initiative with projects from concept to completion independently.
