About the role

Working at Applied means working on all aspects of the design process. From user research, through strategy and concept, to detailed design and implementation. We expect designers to be highly motivated and passionate, with a keen graphic eye and ambition to deliver projects of the highest quality.

We’re looking for conceptual thinkers with a strong graphic/typographic focus, who have the discipline and ambition to turn their concepts into refined design solutions as part of the information systems we deliver.

Prior wayfinding experience is not required for this role; we are looking for outstanding graphic designers who have an eagerness to apply their skills to wayfinding contexts in the built environment, print, and digital applications. Experience in UX/UI design would be beneficial but is not essential.

You will be joining our established office in Covent Garden. The role will be predominantly studio based though we also operate flexible working arrangements and support home working.

What we are looking for

We will select applicants based on merit including relevant experience, demonstrated ability, and commitment to the role. We are looking for a candidate with:

• 1–2 years experience within the design industry and must demonstrate a solid understanding of user-centered design principles, and an ability to ideate, visualise and iterate strong design concepts. 
• A portfolio that demonstrates graphic and typographic skills, and your dedication to the craft of your final designs. At Applied we like design thinkers who champion the meaningful as much as the beautiful. 
• The ability to talk and write articulately about your decision making and the developmental work behind your designs. As well as being highly collaborative, you will be proactive in approach, and efficient at working on your own initiative.
• Proficiency in and be up-to-date with the latest software required for the role. The company predominantly uses Adobe Creative Suite, Google Workspace (Slides, Docs, Sheets) and Slack
