About The Position

Allied Maker is seeking an exceptional graphic designer to work closely with our creative leadership across brand, editorial, digital, print, and physical environments. We are an American design and manufacturing company creating architectural lighting from our New York studios and factory. Our work sits at the intersection of design, architecture, craft, material, and culture, and we are looking for a designer capable of communicating at that same level. We are particularly interested in emerging designers and recent graduates from leading art and design programs, or candidates with an equivalent level of rigorous visual training. This is not a role for someone who simply knows Adobe software. We are looking for someone with taste.
