You have a great book and an endless curiosity for all things design. You have a solid understanding of fine art/design principles and a keen eye for typography. You avoid the booooring corporate branding aesthetic and strive to always find the suitable edge, tension or cool-factor in everything you do. Maybe you wear a leather jacket from Wilson’s and you say things like, “Check out my typeface, Grandpa!” All of this is ok. Just, no tassels, please.
You are also comfortable designing for all facets of the brand spectrum- identity, packaging, print, digital and production design. You are comfortable working on both extraordinary brand assignments and smaller, less glamorous design tasks. And you understand the value of comfortable shoes. In your role as a junior designer, you would ideally have 1-3 years experience in the industry or a degree in art/design. You are a wizard with Figma and Adobe Creative Suite. And/or are just a wizard. Which is also acceptable.
