Senior Designer

At Code and Theory, Senior Designers craft compelling concepts, identities and brand systems that balance strategy with beautiful execution. You'll shape how brands look, feel, and communicate across every touchpoint-bringing storytelling, clarity, and consistency to complex design challenges. Equal parts thinker and maker, you approach design as both a creative and strategic discipline, ensuring every visual element supports a larger narrative.

Our Senior Designers lead design from concept to delivery, championing both craft and strategy. You should have a strong point of view on design systems, a deep love for typography and storytelling, and the ability to make bold ideas feel timeless and practical. You'll help shape the DNA of brands, ensuring every touchpoint-digital or physical-reinforces their unique identity.

• Lead the creation and evolution of brand identities, including logos, typography, color palettes, and visual systems
• Translate brand strategy into thoughtful concepts, design directions and guidelines
• Deliver high-quality design work across a range of outputs : brand systems, guidelines, campaigns, social content, presentations, physical and digital experiences
• Partner with strategists, copywriters, and cross-disciplinary teams to bring brand narratives to life
• Present work clearly and effectively to clients and internal teams, building alignment and excitement
• Review and mentor junior designers, ensuring quality, consistency and growth
