Midweight Graphic Designer

Conkered is a design studio based in Stirling, Scotland.

For those that don’t know… we're 30mins from Glasgow, 
45mins from Edinburgh, by train. This is a remote working position but if you fancy a few days in the studio from time to time, no problem!

We help our clients build and develop their brands using the full spectrum of creative solutions. As a small team we have gained a deep understanding of all our clients.

Creativity has always been at the heart of Conkered. We have built our reputation by providing solutions for clients that demonstrate our understanding of the problem; often elegantly simple ideas. We can only achieve this through the collective knowledge of our team and specialist partners.

Our personality and service are the elements that make us standout, it’s how we retain clients and grow our relationships with our partners; both clients and suppliers love to work with Conkered.
