Designer

Reno (local preferred), NV

At KPS3, we're not your average advertising agency. 

We're a diverse bunch of designers, developers, analysts, and strategists, but we're also parents, rock climbers, puppy snugglers, and gamers. We're human, on purpose. Our pursuit is to deliver top-notch work that we genuinely care about in partnership with brands who share the same love for their craft. And we're on the lookout for a collaborative, independent, creative, and adaptable designer to join our creative squad.

WHAT YOUR PARENTS THINK YOU DO:

  • Provide IT and technology support to your family for free.

WHAT YOUR FRIENDS THINK YOU DO:

  • Photoshop memes and chat with an AI bot all day.

WHAT WE THINK YOU DO:

  • Harness creativity to balance form and function across multiple design disciplines.

WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO:

  • Design and apply brand systems across multiple media and channels with proficiency
  • Develop digital campaign assets and translate campaign ideas into digital and print formats
  • Participate in concept ideation and create multiple design concepts for campaigns
  • Prepare files for print and digital outputs, manage layouts for large print projects
  • Organize and maintain design assets in our DAM system with consistency
  • Coordinate with account and development teams to finalize web assets
  • Build website style guides for our developers to reference
  • Create web designs based on content priorities and incorporate UI/UX principles
  • Help build presentations and create custom branded slide decks
  • Manage your own workload independently with growing confidence
  • Support the creative team with feedback and help problem-solve design solutions
  • Ensure campaign assets maintain consistency across media

  • 2-6 years of design experience with a portfolio showcasing brand identity, digital design, and campaign work
  • Proficiency in foundational design practices and the tools of our trade
  • Strong collaboration skills and ability to coordinate across divisions with minimal oversight
  • The ability to think strategically beyond the assigned task
  • Competency in organizing files correctly on the server with assets properly packaged
  • A solid understanding of how usability, design, and functionality intersect
  • Openness to new technology, software, and processes
  • A mindset that seeks feedback no matter the project (a 7/10 designer that accepts feedback is always better than a 10/10 who doesn’t)
  • The willingness to raise your hand when something could be improved

BONUS POINTS FOR:

  • Agency experience
  • Enough HTML/CSS knowledge to work with our developer team and push the limit
  • Ability to switch gears quickly between projects
  • Growing presence in client meetings
  • Not being scared of writing your own headlines
