TealHaus Seeking Graphic Designer Candidate

Are you a self-starting, micro-management hating graphic designer looking for an opportunity to work for an entrepreneurial marketing agency? 

At TealHaus Strategies, we all put in our time where we felt undervalued, overworked, and unnecessarily scheduled. That’s why we started this company. We believe in the freedom and flexibility of a job that includes your personal life–not making you choose between your role at home and work. We strive to be an inclusive workplace, valuing each of our team members for the work they bring and the lens through which they see the world. 

Our main ask? You get the job done, do it consistently well, and communicate with the team and our clients so there is never any question regarding where a task stands. 

Our formula is working because we are in search of a graphic designer to join our growing team. Responsibilities include client branding, creating designs/templates according to specifications provided by the client or creative director and improving efficiencies of overall design tasks. Reporting directly to the creative director, the designer should have the ability to see a design from concept to final files, producing high-quality work while adhering to budget and deadlines. 

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Creating thoughtful, eye-catching designs for print, digital, and experiential use
  • Developing logos, typography, templates, and other branding collateral
  • Pitching creative work to clients
  • Collaborating with the greater team to create a cohesive marketing strategy
  • Adhering to project deadlines

While entry is open to non-graduates, preference will be given to those with relevant degrees and experience. A degree in graphic design is preferred, although other art and design backgrounds are welcomed. Qualifications include: 

  • Up to three years of graphic design experience
  • Experience with design software and graphics editing software such as InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop
  • Attention to detail
  • Ability to collaborate with a team, but work independently to get the work done
  • Time management skills
  • A talent for creativity and problem solving

This position is a contractor role, with a goal of 20-30 hours of work guaranteed each week. The compensation range is $30-50 per hour, paid every two weeks according to the agreed upon retainer. A flexible schedule is one of the key advantages to this position, although it is helpful to have some dedicated work day hours for collaborative internal and client meetings, as needed.

To apply, send your portfolio and resume to [email protected].

Roadtrip Deep Thoughts: Your Story Matters

Recently, I was able to celebrate a dear friend by traveling to attend her baby shower. As I mingled and met new people, the inevitable question popped up: “What do you do for a living?” I responded, “I work for a marketing agency.”

The follow-up question: “How many years of experience did you have before joining a marketing agency?”

My answer was simple and honest: “Zero.”

The Starfish Syndrome

It was the first morning of my sabbatical, and I started it the way I always start my mornings in Folly: barefoot on the beach with my dog, Oliver. That dog in the ocean is the true picture of pure joy, jumping over waves and zooming out to run a large circle around me in the sand. Just when I start to doubt he’s coming back, he stops, turns around, and then runs with all of his might toward me as if planning to barrel me over. At the last minute, as I feel myself bracing for all 80 pounds of him crashing into me, he darts to the right or left of my legs, as if saying, “Gotcha!”

The Birth of a Brilliant Brand Identity

As a marketer, I wanted to share the story of the Morton Salt emblem because I did not know its origin and found it to be incredibly clever. Have you ever wondered why the Morton Salt girl is walking through the rain and what that has to do with salt?

This is a story of extremely intelligent advertising and a cautionary tale about the importance of keeping all your ideas on the table even if you aren’t sure whether it is “good” or not.
