Digital Designer

The role

We have a seat ready for a talented, passionate Digital Designer, to be part of the award-winning Anthologie digital team. We’re looking for someone with both creative energy and a real head for UI detail – ready to build design systems from the ground floor up.

Digital Designers at Anthologie think of the big picture as well as the small details. They’re proactive, communicative and thoughtful, ready to tackle the hairiest design challenges and bring complex systems to life. They share ideas, bringing a ready knowledge of design for experience and interaction.

Above all else, they’re independent thinkers who aren’t afraid to challenge convention.

In the past year at Anthologie, our designers have created an internationally acclaimed platform to throw a spotlight on overfishing, and they’ve crafted an engaging interface for Australians to track their carbon impact… amongst a range of other projects.

Off the back of some significant wins, we have several high profile projects coming in 2022 and we’re excited to grow the team and take the year head on.
