Design Director

We’re looking for a Design Director who can own the visual language of both Lumē and Mando. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to delegate everything and disappear into meetings — we need someone with a strong point of view, real craft, and the ability to develop a team that’s still growing. The work spans packaging, digital, retail, and social across two brands with different audiences and different creative needs. That range is the job. Neither brand is finished. Both have room to grow, tighten, and get more interesting — and we’re looking for someone who sees that as the opportunity, not the problem. If you’re drawn to building and evolving rather than maintaining what’s already there, this is the right role. This is a player-coach position. The expectation is that you stay close enough to the work that your instincts stay sharp — directing the team and opening Illustrator yourself when something needs it.
