Graphic Designer

Work with a Small Agency Team with Diverse Clients from Manufacturing to Tourism Destinations

US: We tell our client’s stories through digital, print, and social media. We’re located in Delavan, a small town in Southeast Wisconsin, but with clients all over the Midwest.

We enjoy Kwik Trip Dunkers, M&Ms, short walks to the coffee maker, email marketing, puns on social media, digital marketing data dashboards, tacos, an office beer here and there, and connecting with our clients so we can help them connect with their ideal customers.

If you needed more than the Dunkers and tacos… we also offer a flexible work schedule, health insurance with vision / dental options, 401(k), and generous vacation policy!

YOU: A fun, personable individual with experience creating unforgettable designs. Someone who loves to learn and dive into the diverse industries that make up our client list. Can manage tasks and deadlines while laughing at our bad jokes.
