About The Position

A BrightHouse Designer is someone who is tasked with creating experiences through effective information hierarchy. They are communicators who use a (primarily) visual medium to execute an idea. There are many tools at their disposal, technology, vernacular cues, sensory input, graphics, and motion. They share many qualities with an art director in the sense that their work must start with a concept. And they manipulate media to create a feeling, deliver information, inform, and inspire. However, unlike art directors who are conceptually focused, designers are exceptionally focused on look and form. BrightHouse is looking for a Thinker and Designer who thinks strategically as well as creatively, knows how to lead clients, is organized and self-motivated, and has a fantastic eye for design. Their energy and enthusiasm are apparent, and their skills are seen vividly in their work. They’re responsible for the exploration and conceptualization of design options on a number of visual solutions including logos, identities, looks/feels for film, layouts, collateral, illustrations, packaging, physical environments, presentations, etc. They work as a member of a larger team and must be able to collaborate and communicate effectively to those around them, often in tight timeframes. This person is a conceptual thinker – strategic as well as pragmatic; and has an ability to generate trust and build alliances with co-workers. And above all, they have the professional maturity to accept critique in one’s work.
