Bridging the gap between stranger & creative co-conspirator

At Tether, we help brands define the human need that makes what they offer truly matter, through a unique approach that elevates story over style.

Tether was born in Seattle, 2008. We gave ourselves a name to reflect the enduring emotional connection we were determined to forge between brands and people, then set out to build our own creative playground, selling products we made, showing art, we curated and hosting all kind of community events and concerts.

A lot has changed since those early days. Throughout it all, we’ve remained steadfastly independent and wholly committed to being the kind of place we always wanted to work and the kind of creative partner we always wanted to work with.

Tether is seeking a Freelance Designer for a long-term project. This role will serve as the primary designer for a luxury beauty brand’s marketing and branding initiatives. A typical day would include leveraging brand guidelines to author designs, generating content across multiple projects, and meeting with the internal and external team, under the leadership of the Creative Director.

This is a contract position with a hybrid schedule. While working on-site at the Tether studio on Tuesdays and Wednesdays is not required, it is encouraged to foster collaboration and alignment with the team.

Key responsibilities:

• Design continuity of the brand refresh and design system
• Contribute to marketing theme concepts and design treatments
• Visual asset creation
• Photoshoot/videoshoot coordination support
• Packaging design extensions
• Printed collateral design
