Graphic Designer

Parel Creative · Palarivattom, Kochi · Full-time · 3+ years
Design that thinks, built by people who make things.
Parel is a creative and technology agency working at the point where ideas meet execution. From our studio in Kochi and our entity in Singapore, we build brands, websites, apps and campaigns for clients across India, Singapore and beyond. We're a team of around 25 designers, developers, strategists and writers. Our clients include Del Monte, Castrol, Daikin, Ramada, Hilton and more.
The role
You'll shape how brands look and feel across every surface they touch: identity systems, campaigns, social, web and app graphics, and the occasional thing in print. You'll work alongside UI/UX, development, content and marketing from the brief onwards, not at the end of the line. That means your ideas shape the work, and you'll often see them built and shipped by the people sitting next to you.
We use AI seriously, as a way to explore further and move faster, not as a shortcut to average. We want someone who has already built it into their process and has opinions about where it helps and where it doesn't.
What you'll do
Turn briefs into distinctive concepts, then carry them through to polished, platform-ready work
Build and extend brand identities, including logos, type, colour and the systems that hold them together
Design social, campaign and digital assets that perform as well as they look
Create graphics for websites, apps and landing pages in close collaboration with our UI/UX and dev teams
Use AI tools for exploration, image generation and visualisation, with your own judgement as the final filter
Present your thinking to the team and, increasingly, to clients
What you bring
Around three years or more in an agency or studio. A portfolio that proves your ability counts for more than the number.
Command of Photoshop, Illustrator and Figma. Photography, videography or video editing skills are a plus.
A strong grasp of typography, composition, colour and hierarchy
Hands-on experience with AI creative tools, and the taste to know when their output isn't good enough
An understanding of the business goal behind a design, not just the visual
Basic UI/UX sensibility (an advantage)
What you'll get
Work across branding, digital products, e-commerce and campaigns for Indian and international clients
A multidisciplinary team where design and technology sit at the same table
Real exposure to AI-led creative workflows as we build them
Room to grow into senior and lead roles as the studio scales

How to apply
Email your CV and portfolio to support@parelstudio.com with the subject line Graphic Designer: [Your Name].
In the email, pick one project from your portfolio and tell us, in a few lines, what the brief was, what you decided and why, and what you'd do differently now. Also show us one piece where AI played a real part in your process. We read every application, and the thinking matters as much as the work.
