Senior Graphic Designer

At The Hanging House, we don’t just create events—we craft seamless, high-impact brand experiences that leave a lasting impression. Behind every successful operation is a strong, strategic support system, and we’re looking for an Executive Assistant to join our team and support Chief Creative Officer and Chief Operating Officer in achieving excellence.

In this role as Senior Graphic Designer, you will be responsible for leading and executing a wide range of design projects, focusing on creating immersive and visually stunning graphics for events. You will manage multiple projects, from concept to execution, ensuring that all visual communication aligns with our clients’ brand and marketing strategies.

Key Expectations

Beyond qualifications and experience, you are expected to demonstrate a mindset that drives great work. These expectations reflect how you collaborate, create, and deliver impact every day.

• Be curious about everything: From spatial design to storytelling to why cereal tastes better at night—curiosity is fuel. Ask questions, connect dots, stay endlessly interested.
• Challenge the obvious: If something feels too easy, too expected—it probably is. Flip it, stretch it, break it. The magic tends to live just beyond the safe zone.
• Test, learn, evolve: We experiment. We make mistakes. We figure it out. What matters is momentum, intention, and the willingness to refine and improve.
• Create with emotion: Our work should move people. Whether it’s joy, wonder, or a pause for reflection—make them feel something. If it lands flat, we’re not done yet.
• Care about the details, but keep the story in focus: Yes, every prop, comma, pixel, and cable matters—but only when it’s in service of a bigger idea that’s worth telling.
