Lead Designer (Creative Gladiator) at Image Time

Overview

Image & Time is a full service Design and Consulting company. Our goal is to
innovate and build the future in collaboration with our clients and partners. We do
this by leveraging Design Thinking and employing a human-centered process.

Job Description

We believe design isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about making people
feel something. It’s about clarity, impact, and storytelling. It’s about designing with
conviction, not just for trends.

We’re looking for a Lead Designer who sees design as a weapon for change, a tool for
culture, and a force that challenges mediocrity. Someone who fights for great ideas and obsesses over details that no one notices.

This is not a role for the passive or the pixel pusher. This is for the disruptors, the
thinkers, the designers who know that form and function aren’t enemies—they’re
dance partners. If that sounds like you, read on.

Key Responsibilities

Conceptual Thinking: Develop original, thought-provoking design solutions
across branding, editorial, digital, and environmental design.
Design Craft: Execute beautifully crafted work with a strong command of
typography, composition, colour, and materiality.
Design Integrity: Uphold the highest standards of excellence, ensuring every
project is rooted in strategy, concept, and execution.
Design with Purpose: Lead and execute brand identities, design for good
initiatives and experiences that don’t just look good—they mean something.
Creative Conviction: Push boundaries, fight for great ideas, and never settle
for “just okay.” You’ll be the guardian of design integrity in every project.
Mentor & Motivate: Inspire and lead a small but mighty team, helping them
sharpen their craft and think bigger.
Client Storytelling: Bring clients into our world—educate, persuade, and take
them on a journey where they understand the why behind the wow.
Cultural Radar: Stay ahead of design trends, movements, and cultural shifts
to keep our work fresh, relevant, and powerful.
Advocate for Design Thinking: Champion a philosophy where design is not
an afterthought but a foundation for problem-solving and innovation.

Qualifications

9+ years of experience in a design studio, agency, or independent practice.
● A portfolio demonstrating intelligence, craft, and originality—work that
goes beyond execution to show deep thinking.
● Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (and an openness to new tools and
technologies).
● Strong conceptual and typographic skills with an ability to create work that is
both timeless and forward-thinking.
● The ability to work autonomously and collaboratively, handling multiple
projects with precision and creativity.
● A critical eye and a rigorous approach to the design process.
● Curiosity, cultural awareness, and an interest in how design intersects with art,
architecture, technology, and society.
● A no-BS attitude, a thick skin, and a sense of humour—because great work
comes from great culture.

Bonus Points If You Have

● Have experience across multiple disciplines (AR/VR, motion, editorial)
● Have worked with high-profile brands, cultural institutions, or experimental
projects.
● Have strong writing skills and the ability to articulate design thinking clearly.
