• Allied Maker is seeking an exceptional graphic designer to work closely with our creative leadership across brand, editorial, digital, print, and physical environments.
• We are an American design and manufacturing company creating architectural lighting from our New York studios and factory. Our work sits at the intersection of design, architecture, craft, material, and culture, and we are looking for a designer capable of communicating at that same level.
• We are particularly interested in emerging designers and recent graduates from leading art and design programs, or candidates with an equivalent level of rigorous visual training.
• This is not a role for someone who simply knows Adobe software. We are looking for someone with taste.
• What You’ll Work On
• You’ll help shape and execute Allied Maker’s visual language across
• Brand identity and visual systems
• Catalogs, lookbooks, brochures, and editorial pieces
• Product launches and collection presentations
• Website and digital design
• Social and campaign creative
• Invitations, events, exhibitions, and special projects
• Sales presentations and client-facing materials
• Packaging and printed collateral
• Showroom, factory, and environmental graphics
• Image layouts, typography, retouching, and art direction support
• Some projects will be highly considered and conceptual. Others will need to be beautiful, accurate, and out the door today. You should be comfortable with both.

• Your portfolio should demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of typography, grids, hierarchy, proportion, composition, image-making, and visual systems.
• We are drawn to designers whose work feels considered rather than decorated; people who understand that the smallest typographic or compositional decision can change the entire character of a piece.
• Exceptional with typography
• Highly sensitive to proportion, spacing, hierarchy, and composition
• Able to take a strong creative direction and elevate it through execution
• Comfortable generating multiple intelligent design solutions
• Fast without becoming careless
• Extremely detail-oriented
• Comfortable preparing production-ready files for printers, fabricators, and vendors
• Interested in architecture, interiors, furniture, fashion, art, publishing, or industrial design
• Capable of moving between conceptual brand work and everyday design production
• Collaborative, curious, self-directed, and low-ego
• Experience with Figma, motion, photography, video, rendering, or web design is a plus, but exceptional graphic design fundamentals matter more to us than a long software list.
• Our visual world is architectural, intelligent, refined, material, modern, and enduring.
• We value designers with a strong foundation in Swiss and modernist typography, editorial design, identity systems, visual research, and concept-driven communication, while still possessing a contemporary point of view.
• We are not interested in trend-driven graphics, gratuitous effects, or design that exists simply to attract attention.
• We care about the things that are harder to teach: judgment, restraint, rhythm, editing, curiosity, and knowing when something is finished.
• We are intentionally open to exceptional early-career talent.
• Recent graduates and alumni of rigorous art and design programs are strongly encouraged to apply. Professional experience is welcome, but we care more about the intelligence and quality of the work than the number of years on your résumé.
• Your portfolio is the most important part of your application.

• We are hiring immediately.
• We would especially like to see work demonstrating typography, editorial design, identity systems, print, art direction, and the sophisticated presentation of photography, objects, or architecture.
