More about who you are…

Whilst the key skills above are important, they don’t fully explain who we are looking for. If you are the sort of person who doesn’t settle for the first idea, or even an adequate idea because you know the best idea is still out there, if you believe that design can do good and not just make noise, if you fear playing it safe more than you fear failure, if you believe in ‘less, but better’ as a design philosophy, if you protect work from casual criticism but welcome constructive criticism, if you love brands and the role they play in peoples lives, if you are a thinker as well as a doer, if you love technology and innovation, and if you are a natural collaborator – we want to hear from you.
