Senior Digital Designer

An Overview:

As a Senior Digital Designer at forpeople, you’ll be hands-on, crafting bold, strategic, and beautifully executed design work across multiple disciplines – whether it’s brand, 2D, UI, motion, or beyond. You'll bring fresh ideas, push creative boundaries, and deliver high-impact design solutions that challenge convention.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment, blending insight-driven strategy with irresistible creative craftsmanship. You’ll be a key part of the team, collaborating across projects and disciplines to create outstanding work.

What we're looking for:

For 5 years we've been building a progressive, cross-disciplinary team in Amsterdam, and we look to our Senior Designers to bring new levels of quality in ideation and craft every day in the role. Specifically this means:

Excellent Conceptual Thinking — Ideas are everything to us: the ability to come up with courageous creative ideas which push beyond the brief every time is a must. Beyond that, you must be able to communicate them confidently and with flair to colleagues and clients alike. 

Incredible Visual Execution — Delivering highly-refined, undeniably beautiful visual systems is your natural habitat. Spotless typography, precise iconography, exquisite logo and symbol craft, and bold art direction are what we are looking to see from you. 

Characterful Motion Design — We create living and dynamic brand systems and experiences; and within this role Motion is a core component. If you’re outstanding at print, but not confident animating, this is probably not the job for you. We’re looking for great examples from After Effects/Cavalry, Touch Designer, Blender, or coded and generative movements from your platform of choice. 

Digital Design Expertise — We build physical and digital products for the world’s leading brands. We expect you to bring cutting-edge thinking, designing, and prototyping skills together to an inspiring standard, in interfaces which embody soulfulness and premium attention-to-detail.

Something Unexpectedly Magical — We don’t know what this is, but you do. We want to see skills, interests, and abilities outside the norm than only you can bring to our growing creative team. Sound expert? Sculptor? Polyglot? Writer? Actor? Bring those talents to work every day. 

In addition, you'll have:

• Extensive experience in a creative agency or similar fast-paced environment

• A standout portfolio showcasing innovative and high-impact creative design

• The drive to shape a growing multidisciplinary studio

• The skills and confidence to inspire more junior colleagues

• The ability to work in the Netherlands

Who we are

We're an employee-owned creative studio, working globally from an old pickle factory in London, and a former garage in Amsterdam. Our team of over 130 weaves together a diverse range of skills: from graphic, product, spatial and interaction design to moving image, writing, research and strategy.

Without knowing it, you’ve probably seen or experienced something we’ve had a hand in. Over the last 20 years, we’ve quietly shaped the future of some of the world’s most well-known brands as well as creating others you’ll soon get to discover. Our work is wide-reaching, from defining brand visions to building identities and designing experiences. Yet everything we do is born from a simple philosophy – we feel, think and do for people.

In Amsterdam we are a growing team of 17 all from different backgrounds, moving quickly to shape brand experiences through strategy, identity, and design. We’ve been a studio here for almost 6 years, with a startup mindset to embrace rapid change, and trust our team to help shape the business they want to be a part of.
