Reno (local preferred) United States
Job Description:
At KPS3, we're not your average advertising agency.
We're a diverse bunch of designers, developers, analysts, and strategists, but we're also parents, rock climbers, puppy snugglers, and gamers. We're human, on purpose. Our pursuit is to deliver top-notch work that we genuinely care about in partnership with brands who share the same love for their craft. And we're on the lookout for a collaborative, independent, creative, and adaptable designer to join our creative squad.
WHAT YOUR PARENTS THINK YOU DO:
Provide IT and technology support to your family for free.
WHAT YOUR FRIENDS THINK YOU DO:
Photoshop memes and chat with an AI bot all day.
WHAT WE THINK YOU DO:
Harness creativity to balance form and function across multiple design disciplines.
WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO:
Design and apply brand systems across multiple media and channels with proficiency
Develop digital campaign assets and translate campaign ideas into digital and print formats
Participate in concept ideation and create multiple design concepts for campaigns
Prepare files for print and digital outputs, manage layouts for large print projects
Organize and maintain design assets in our DAM system with consistency
Coordinate with account and development teams to finalize web assets
Build website style guides for our developers to reference
Create web designs based on content priorities and incorporate UI/UX principles
Help build presentations and create custom branded slide decks
Manage your own workload independently with growing confidence

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TABLE:
2-6 years of design experience with a portfolio showcasing brand identity, digital design, and campaign work
Proficiency in foundational design practices and the tools of our trade
Strong collaboration skills and ability to coordinate across divisions with minimal oversight
The ability to think strategically beyond the assigned task
Competency in organizing files correctly on the server with assets properly packaged
A solid understanding of how usability, design, and functionality intersect
Openness to new technology, software, and processes
A mindset that seeks feedback no matter the project (a 7/10 designer that accepts feedback is always better than a 10/10 who doesn't)
The willingness to raise your hand when something could be improved
BONUS POINTS FOR:
Agency experience
Enough HTML/CSS knowledge to work with our developer team and push the limit
Ability to switch gears quickly between projects
Growing presence in client meetings
Not being scared of writing your own headlines
