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.
