Why Craighill?

Joining Craighill means helping shape a design brand in real time - not just how it looks, but how it thinks and shows up in the world. You’ll work across brand systems, product storytelling, and visual expression, building a body of work that’s intentional, durable, and quietly distinctive.

We’re interested in designers who care as much about restraint as expression and see brand as something built over years, not campaigns. If you’re excited by the challenge of translating values into form, and believe that beauty and discipline can coexist, we’d love to hear from you.
