Designer, Collateral & Events

This role owns the design of IPSY’s printed collateral — the narrative and educational materials inside every subscription box — and provides creative support across IPSY’s event portfolio, from customer-facing activations to signature company events like the Brand & Creator Forum (IPSIES) and internal offsites. The role also supports packaging design for subscription boxes and related merchandise needs. It’s a role for a designer who can move fluidly between print-based editorial design and experiential/environmental creative, while maintaining IPSY’s brand standards across every touchpoint.

• Maintain IPSY brand standards across layout, typography, imagery, and color
• Collaborate on image selects from monthly photo shoots

• Bring a point of view to layout and design treatment

• Partner with the Events Team, Producers, and other cross-functional stakeholders on creative needs across IPSY’s event portfolio — from smaller customer- and brand-facing activations to signature annual events like the Brand & Creator Forum (IPSIES) and company offsites

• Apply correct brand elements and imagery within existing packaging specifications
• Maintain consistency with IPSY's brand identity and visual standards across all packaging
• Partner with internal stakeholders on revisions and final approvals
• Review printed samples and packaging prototypes, flagging any design-related issues

• 3+ years of design experience, ideally spanning both print/editorial and/or event/experiential design
• Strong print/editorial design skills, with experience designing for narrative or educational content, not just marketing collateral
• Experience in experiential, environmental, or event design — comfortable designing for physical spaces, not just screens or print
• Comfort designing within existing packaging templates and dielines
• Ability to maintain a consistent visual system across a wide range of formats and physical touchpoints simultaneously
• Comfort managing variable scope and ambiguity, given the range of deliverables across different event types
