About The Position

MML Hospitality is seeking a highly skilled Graphic Designer to join our Brand & Creative Design Team. This role supports a portfolio of distinct restaurant, hotel, and retail brands and requires a strong foundation in environmental, print, and brand system design. The ideal candidate understands how a brand translates into physical space — from menus and signage to in-room collateral, packaging, uniforms, and digital touchpoints. They are detail-oriented, production-savvy, and comfortable managing multiple active projects in a fast-paced hospitality environment. This designer should have a professional-level understanding of the full design lifecycle — strategy, concept, refinement, production, and vendor-ready delivery — with a strong sensitivity to typography, materials, and experiential consistency. Candidates should be comfortable moving between high-level brand design, brand asset organization and management, smaller day-to-day design updates and admin tasks. This role reports directly to the Brand & Creative Studio Director and is a full-time, in-office position.

Requirements

3–5+ years of professional graphic design experience, preferably within hospitality, lifestyle, retail, or experiential brands.
Strong portfolio demonstrating environmental design, print production, and brand system thinking.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop). After Effects is a plus.
Demonstrated experience preparing production files and working with exterior production vendors.
Deep understanding of typography, layout systems, and hierarchy.
Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
Strong communication skills and comfort interfacing with cross-functional teams.
Proficiency in Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive)

Nice To Haves

Prepare production-ready files and collaborate directly with printers, fabricators, and signage vendors to ensure accurate execution.
