Our Designers are makers and storytellers that use design to bring ideas to life. They lead projects into uncharted creative territories and synthesize new outcomes. They’re design fundamentalists, but approach projects with rational and innovative mindsets. They identify user needs, interpret client challenges and define visual language, always mindful of how it looks and how it works. 

As a Junior Visual Designer at R/GA, you’ll contribute to concepts, design strategies and systems, and help create visual design artifacts on a project level. Preference will be given to those who demonstrate a combination of strategic, conceptual, design and craft skills.
