Creative Designer

Company Description: Zi is a modern design house creating quiet, considered luxury for everyday life. The brand prioritises thoughtful design over loud, performative jewellery, making silver a deliberate choice rather than a compromise.
Founded in 2026 and headquartered in Mumbai, Zi is a small, focused team building and hiring across business functions. The company values restraint, cultural awareness, and designers who can “read the room” before they create
.
Role Description:
This is a full-time, on-site Creative Designer role based in Mumbai. The Creative Designer will develop visual concepts and designs that reflect Zi’s philosophy of quiet, enduring luxury. Daily responsibilities include creating brand-aligned content and layouts for digital and print, designing assets for web and social platforms, and collaborating with founders and cross-functional teams on campaigns and product storytelling. The role involves refining and maintaining brand guidelines, preparing production-ready files, and working closely with photography and content to ensure cohesive visual narratives. The Creative Designer will contribute to launch-related design projects and help evolve Zi’s visual language as the brand grows.
Qualifications
Strong Creative Design, Videos and Graphics skills to translate brand philosophy into cohesive visual concepts.
Experience in Graphics and Web Design for digital platforms, including websites, social media, and marketing materials.
Proficiency in Branding and visual identity development, including logo usage, typography, and colour systems.
Advanced skills in industry-standard design tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or equivalent).
Portfolio demonstrating minimalist, restrained, and concept-led design work, ideally in fashion, jewellery, or lifestyle.
Ability to work on-site in Mumbai, collaborate in a small team, and manage multiple projects with attention to detail.
Strong visual communication skills and an understanding of contemporary culture, design trends, and user experience.
Relevant degree or certification in Design, Visual Communication, or a related field is preferred but not mandatory.
What will you own
Performance & brand creatives — ad creatives for Meta/Google, landing assets, and anything that needs to convert without compromising the brand's restraint
Website — banners, PLP/PDP visual assets, seasonal takeovers, collection launch pages
Publications — lookbooks, PR one-pagers, press kits, catalogue layouts
Social content — Instagram grid, Reels, Stories; both polished campaign content and everyday brand presence
Video & motion — short-form edits, product films, campaign teasers, and motion graphics for digital placements
Packaging & print collateral — as needed, working within the established packaging system
Design system stewardship — keeping every output consistent with Zi's colour system, typography, and tone, and flagging when a request risks breaking it
What we are looking for
3–5+ years in a design role that covered both graphic and video/motion work — agency or in-house at a D2C/fashion/luxury brand strongly preferred
Strong portfolio showing range: campaign creative, social content, and at least some video/motion editing
Fluency in the standard toolkit — Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere/After Effects), Figma, Synthesia and similar tools; comfort with fast-turnaround editing is a plus.
An eye for restraint — you understand luxury isn't "less design"; it's disciplined design
Ability to work directly from a brand system and extend it, not reinterpret it
Comfortable owning output end-to-end: brief to final export, across multiple formats in parallel
Based in or willing to relocate to Mumbai.
Nice to have
Experience with jewellery, watches, or other detail-heavy edits.
Experience building or maintaining a brand's visual guidelines
