Job Description
Are you a creative powerhouse who loves taking a brand from concept to reality, whether that's through jaw-dropping merch, bold signage, or scroll-stopping digital content? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same? LV Collective is looking for a Graphic Designer / Production Designer to join our vibrant team and play a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity of our student housing, multifamily, hospitality, and corporate brands.
This role is perfect for a designer who can seamlessly switch between dreaming up big ideas and sweating the small details, from designing and producing merch to managing full-scale branding projects. You'll collaborate across teams and with outside vendors to make sure every touchpoint, digital, print, or physical, delivers a cohesive, high-impact brand experience.
This might be the right job for you if:
- You live for immersive experiences, and when you travel, you soak up every detail, from design and hospitality to culture and brand moments.
- You're still deep into Pinterest or mood-boarding apps, constantly curating visions for your next event, design project, or dream space.
- You have an eye for aesthetics and a brain for strategy, and you love when the two come together in a killer brand experience.
- You're as passionate about the process as you are the final product-sweating the small stuff to make sure every detail sings.
