About City & Sea Creative

City & Sea Creative is a boutique brand and website design studio helping established service-based businesses refine their brand identity and elevate their online presence. We partner with female founders and creative entrepreneurs across industries like interior design, architecture, wellness, and beauty—crafting elevated, strategy-backed brands that blend aesthetics with purpose.

We’re a small, growing studio that values creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness. Every project we take on is rooted in intention, strategy, and a genuine desire to help our clients feel seen, confident, and ready to grow.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to join our team in a freelance capacity—with the potential to grow into a full-time role as our studio expands. This person will work closely with our Creative Director to bring brand identities and websites to life through thoughtful, detail-oriented design.

You’ll start by assisting with brand projects: designing brand mockups, style guides, and presentation materials, and gradually grow into taking on full client projects. You should be comfortable working under tight deadlines, love collaborating, and have an eye for refined, modern design that aligns with our studio’s elevated aesthetic.

This is a great fit for someone who thrives in a small, scrappy, creative environment and wants to grow with a design studio long term.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the development of brand identities by creating brand mockups, style guides, and visual presentations.

• Design and build websites in Squarespace (Showit experience a plus).

• Create branded Canva presentations, social media templates, and other digital collateral.

• Design print and digital marketing materials such as ads, business cards, brochures, and brand collateral.

• Prepare brand deliverables and organize final files for client delivery.

• Implement design feedback quickly and thoughtfully.

• Support the Creative Director with creative production, visual asset creation, and file organization.

• Participate in team discussions and help brainstorm creative solutions.

Requirements

• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and Canva. Brand and website designs are typically done in Adobe, with client templates and our proposals designed in Canva.

• Strong portfolio demonstrating brand identity and web design work.

• Proven experience designing in Squarespace (Showit experience a bonus).

• Excellent design taste and ability to interpret and expand upon established visual directions.

• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and turn around revisions quickly.

• Responsive communicator who thrives in a collaborative, feedback-driven environment.

• High attention to detail and organization.

• A proactive, resourceful attitude with a genuine desire to grow with the team.

• Ability to work within existing processes and standard operating procedures. We have systems in place for everything and it’s what makes our client experience so top notch.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience creating presentation decks or marketing materials for service-based businesses.

• Understanding of brand strategy and creative process from concept to completion.

• Familiarity with copywriting, SEO basics, or digital marketing design.

What We Offer

• Flexible remote work schedule.

• Opportunity to grow with a fast-evolving creative studio.

• Collaboration with inspiring, creative clients and small businesses.

• A creative environment that values autonomy, initiative, and thoughtful design.
