Unleash

Downtown Orlando, Florida

Unleash is a small, collaborative design agency located in Downtown Orlando specializing in brand development, graphic design, and web design.

A link to your design portfolio is required with your application. Applications submitted without a portfolio may not be considered.

JOB DESCRIPTION

At Unleash, we build meaningful connections between brands and people. Can you help us do that?

We’re seeking a talented and motivated full-time Graphic Designer to join our growing agency. This role is ideal for an experienced, multidisciplinary designer who can develop compelling creative concepts, take ownership of projects, and confidently carry work from initial direction through final execution.

You’ll work closely with our senior creative team on a wide variety of projects, including brand identity development, websites, marketing campaigns, product design, print materials, environmental graphics, presentations, and social media content.

This is not an internship or production-only position. We’re looking for someone who can think strategically, contribute original ideas, communicate their creative decisions, and manage their responsibilities with limited oversight.

This is a flexible hybrid position consisting of three days per week in our Downtown Orlando office and two remote days per week. Applicants must live within a reasonable commuting distance of Downtown Orlando.

Designing responsive websites and digital experiences in Figma
Producing graphics and layouts for websites, marketing campaigns, products, posters, flyers, wall murals, presentations, and social media

Ensuring all final work is polished, accurate, visually compelling, and on-brand

PROJECT OWNERSHIP

Designers at Unleash are expected to take responsibility for their assigned projects from initial kickoff through final delivery.

Project ownership includes understanding the goals of the project, developing and presenting creative concepts, organizing files, maintaining timelines, communicating progress, coordinating with internal team members, responding to feedback, and ensuring all final deliverables meet our creative and technical standards.

You will receive direction and support from our senior team, but you should be comfortable making decisions, identifying potential issues, and proactively moving your projects forward.

An idea-driven designer with a refined understanding of branding, layout, typography, hierarchy, and composition
Able to balance creativity with strategy, business objectives, and audience needs

Confident presenting creative ideas and receiving constructive feedback
Comfortable communicating directly with clients in a professional and thoughtful manner
Able to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-moving agency environment
Collaborative and willing to support other team members when needed

Excellent time-management and organizational abilities
Ability to present creative work and explain design decisions to clients and internal team members

Logo design, typography, layout, and visual systems
Website or digital design created in Figma
Thoughtful concept development and creative problem-solving
