Are you passionate about turning complex ideas into powerful visual stories? Do you thrive on solving problems through creativity and want your work to have a real impact? We’re looking for a Mid-Weight Designer to join our growing Membership team at Canvas8.
If you have a strong eye for detail, a love of storytelling, and a drive to create meaningful and innovative work, we want to hear from you. This is an incredible opportunity for a talented designer with experience in UI and editorial design. You're comfortable working across different mediums - from presentation design to videos and animations, across online and print - and know how to make each shine. You’ll be at the heart of a collaborative, curious, and talented team, working alongside editors, researchers, and fellow designers to deliver exceptional creative solutions.
About us
We are Canvas8, a strategic insights practice with offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, and Manila. We help our clients understand people so they can make better business decisions.
Our work investigates the hidden insights in everyday life – from the psychology of boredom to teenage make-up rituals and why Barbiecore is a Gen Y thing – and makes them meaningful for brands. Our team combines disciplines and skills – from psychology to journalism, anthropology to behavioural economics. What unites them is a desire to understand people and a passion for delivering outstanding work.
About the role
Reporting to the Head of Copy and Production and our Senior Graphic Designer, as a Mid-Weight Designer, you’ll be at the heart of shaping and elevating the Canvas8 Membership experience. You’ll take ownership of the visual quality across our platform, ensuring everything from imagery to layouts feels cohesive, considered, and on-brand. Whether it’s designing assets for events, refining article visuals, or enhancing the way our content is presented, your work will help bring our insights to life in meaningful and engaging ways.
You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved in larger creative projects, collaborating with teams across Design, Innovation, and Development to rethink formats, improve user journeys, and contribute to standout campaigns and reports. This is a role for someone who’s not only confident in their craft but also curious, collaborative, and excited to make a lasting impact through thoughtful, culturally connected design.
