About Recreation Jewels
Recreation Jewels is one of the UK's fastest growing independent jewellery brands.
Founded in 2023 by Ranee Karmakharm whilst studying at the University of Edinburgh, we've grown from packing orders in a student flat to building a business with a flagship Edinburgh store, headquarters, warehouse, private Charm Bar and a growing online community of over 70,000 people across our social channels.
Our ambition is simple. We want to become one of the UK's leading jewellery brands through exceptional products, unforgettable customer experiences and industry leading branding.
Every design our customers see helps shape how they experience Recreation Jewels. Whether it's our website, social media, product packaging, email campaigns or in store displays, we believe every touchpoint should feel thoughtful, exciting and unmistakably Recreation Jewels.
We're now looking for an ambitious Graphic Designer to help elevate our brand even further.
About The Role
This is far more than a traditional graphic design role.
As our Graphic Designer, you'll be responsible for bringing the Recreation Jewels brand to life across every customer touchpoint. From creating engaging social media assets and email campaigns to designing packaging, website graphics, event branding and marketing materials, your work will help shape how thousands of customers experience our brand every day.
You'll work directly alongside the founders and wider team to ensure every design reflects Recreation Jewels' playful, colourful and recognisable identity. Whether you're designing a new product launch, creating graphics for our latest pop up, refreshing our website or producing assets for paid advertising, you'll play a key role in maintaining and evolving our visual identity.
This is a highly creative, hands on role where no two days are the same. We're looking for someone with exceptional attention to detail, a strong understanding of branding and typography, and the ability to balance creativity with commercial thinking.
