Graphic Designer

Are you looking for a chance to use and develop your skills and creativity, while working towards positive change in the world?

We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to join our team!

Glimpse was set up as a place for creative people to use their skills for good. From our inception as a collective of volunteers coming up with ideas in our spare time, we’ve grown into a fully fledged creative organisation. We exist to tell positive stories about the world we want to create, and we also work with the likes of Choose Love, Patagonia and Oxfam to do so. There’s so much doom, gloom and dystopia out there – how can we use creativity to show a glimpse of the better world we know is possible? What does that look like to you?

We’re looking for someone who wants to do meaningful work with positivity and compassion. Someone with exciting ideas who’s not too precious about sharing them, deconstructing them and building them back up again. Someone who can help us imagine a world where these issues can be overcome.

About you

• You believe in the power of design for good, making complex issues relatable and accessible to more people.
• You’ve got a strong sense of typography and layout in digital and print.
• You’re a conceptual thinker who can communicate ideas visually.
• You can talk through and articulate your work, and respond and adapt to feedback.
