About The Team

This Packaging Design team operates within a retainer model, dedicated to one large-scale retail private-label client spanning food, beverage, health, beauty, and household categories. The work is high-volume, high-visibility, and system-driven. It requires deep fluency in packaging design systems, brand equities, production realities, and retail dynamics.

As a Senior Adaptive Designer,



you’ll play a critical role in bringing established brand identities and packaging systems to life across products, formats, and categories. You’ll take ownership of complex adaptations, ensuring every execution is thoughtful, consistent, and beautifully crafted.

You understand that great adaptive design goes beyond following guidelines. It requires creative judgment, problem-solving, and the ability to recognize when a system needs to flex. You’re confident navigating design challenges, resolving inconsistencies, and finding smart solutions that preserve the integrity of the brand.

You’ll collaborate with creative leads, designers, and production specialists to deliver exceptional packaging work at scale. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, take pride in the details, and know how to balance creative quality with the realities of production and speed to market.
