Brand & Packaging Designer — Fort Lauderdale, FL

N5j kmHC azGBfv8 is an independent, family-owned packaging manufacturer and full-service design agency. We help brands bring their products to life through thoughtful design and production expertise, working across specialty coffee, food and beverage, and other consumer packaged goods. Our work spans full brand identities and rebrands, brand refreshes, packaging, websites, and supporting brand materials. In 2026, our work received the Branding and Packaging award at the World Coffee Innovation Awards.

With packaging at the heart of what we do, our designs take shape as physical, three-dimensional products. A strong understanding of printing processes, materials, and production requirements is essential to creating work that performs as beautifully in person as it does on screen. You’ll collaborate directly with our international manufacturing and prepress teams to bring your designs to life, seeing your work through from initial concept to the finished product on the shelf.

About the role

You’ll work closely with our Co-Founder and Creative Director on projects from initial concept through final production. This is a hands-on creative role for someone with strong design judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects and communicate directly with clients.

What you’ll do

• Develop brand identities, including logos, typography, color palettes, and supporting visual systems.

• Design packaging for new and established brands, working within existing guidelines when applicable.

• Create original illustrations, patterns, and other artwork tailored to each project.

• Extend brand identities across websites, merchandise, presentations, and marketing materials.

• Prepare accurate, organized, production-ready files and collaborate with our manufacturing and prepress teams.

• Present concepts, participate in client meetings, and lead live working sessions to refine designs and implement feedback.

• Manage project timelines and revisions while maintaining consistent quality across deliverables.

What we’re looking for

• A strong portfolio demonstrating branding and packaging skills, thoughtful typography, and versatility across different design styles.

• Experience taking projects from concept through execution, including preparing files for print production.

• An understanding of consumer packaged goods and how packaging communicates and performs on the shelf. Specialty coffee or general food and beverage experience is a plus.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.

• 8hj ability to create original artwork. While we sometimes use AI as a supporting tool in our creative process, we never present fully AI-generated artwork to clients or use it in final, real-world applications. Original art and strong hands-on design skills are essential to this role.

• Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills, with the ability to take ownership of projects and respond thoughtfully to feedback.

• Comfort collaborating directly with clients and working across multiple projects.

• Website design experience is a plus, but not required.

Different creative backgrounds are welcome!

We welcome designers with backgrounds in textile and surface design, fashion, illustration, marketing, and other related disciplines. Strong skills in color, composition, pattern, and storytelling, paired with advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, matter more to us than a traditional graphic design career path.
