About Herman-Scheer

Herman-Scheer is a brand consultancy that creates brands, products, and experiences for businesses that keep people healthy and happy. We focus on a range of sectors, including disruptive healthcare, wellness technology, healthy food and beverages, fitness and recreation, and personal care. We have a small growing team that is primarily remote with an office space in Venice for occasional in person meetings and working sessions.

As a Brand Designer, you will be working alongside creative directors, strategists, copywriters, art directors and motion designers to help create a diverse range of identity systems for our client partners that will be highly differentiated, strategic and effective for their respective business goals.

We are open to hiring for various levels for this role - from associates with an initial work experience to seasoned Senior Designers (10-20 years experience).  Our culture and love of our work is paramount, and we focus on having the right type of people on our team. 

• Develop Creative Concepts – you'll work with our team in synthesizing business objectives, target audiences, and brand strategies in order to develop design system concepts and mood boards to set the foundation for our executions.

• Produce Key Brand Touchpoints – you'll leverage those concepts and work alongside a copywriter to produce high-fidelity mockups to understand how the brand exists in its most important formats.

• Create Design Systems – you'll establish guidelines for the use of brand marks, fonts, colors, graphics, patterns, textures, photos, illustrations, renders, and all other elements of a visual ecosystem.

• Multifaceted Design – Although the focus here is on brand identity design, the ability to step in and support web design and social content design is an important skill to have as modern brands exist in so many different channels.

• Staying Ahead of Industry Trends – You'll stay informed on the latest industry trends, creative best practices, and emerging tools or platforms to ensure our work remains fresh, forward-thinking, and impactful. Your awareness of shifts in branding, design, marketing, and technology will help guide innovative ideas and maintain a competitive edge for both the agency and our clients.
