Careers

Junior Designer

We are Studio Dzo, a Black-owned and Woman-led multi-disciplinary, design-build studio based in Austin, Texas. We are committed to delivering deeply thoughtful and creative solutions that exceed expectations at every touchpoint.

Inspired by the majestic dzo (Pronounced “zho” - the "D" is silent, naturally.), we are a hybrid greater than the sum of its parts. Our team's extensive experience in visual design, global branding and marketing, and design education; combined with our expert knowledge of code compliance, materials, engineering, and fabrication, along with our global relationships; we like to consider ourselves in a league of our own.

Our mantra is: Do Good Work for Good People with Good People. This is what we measure everything against. We have built our reputation and identity around this. We require every Studio Dzo team member to understand, cherish, and uphold this commitment.

We are looking for a Junior Designer that’s positive, personable, passionate, and flat out gives a damn. We are seeking a real go-getter that’s excited to work with a small team and learn by doing. A committed individual that understands the meaning of “get in where you fit in” and is happiest playing a support role and prefers to be behind the scenes. The perfect candidate would be a recent design program graduate or in their last semester with a strong working knowledge of vector design, and able to take direction and tactfully receive constructive feedback.

This is a full-time role that requires basic knowledge of design, industry design tools (Adobe CC Suite), and a thirst for learning. We are a fully remote team.

Education

Compensation

Hey we get it. Bills have to be paid and food needs to be made. But we also know that there is so much more than money that is factored in when choosing an employer.
