Book Designer (2–3 years of experience) Specialising in Children’s Books

We’re looking for a designer who understands the magic of children’s publishing—someone who knows how a book should look, feel, and flow for young readers. If you’re excited by colour, clarity, storytelling, and the wonder in a child’s eyes when they turn a page, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do:

• Design clean, engaging layouts for children’s books
• Create appealing print communication materials
• Design in-house activity books, toddler books, and picture books for ages 0–12
• Prepare packaged files and pre-press artwork with accuracy and consistency

What You Bring:

• 2–3 years of experience in book design or publishing
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop; bonus if you know Premiere Pro & After Effects), and CorelDRAW
• A solid understanding of typography, layout, colour theory, and visual hierarchy
• A love for crafting visuals that support great storytelling
