Role Overview
Are you a talented designer with a passion for turning words and images into visually stunning publications? We’re looking for a creative professional to join our publishing team and bring our magazines and books to life each month.

In this role, you’ll design high-quality magazine layouts (150–175 pages) and book interiors using established templates and style guides.

If you thrive on creative projects, have a keen eye for layout precision, and are confident using Adobe InDesign (beyond basic design tools), we’d love to hear from you. Join a team that values creativity, attention to detail, and professional excellence in every page we publish.
