Mid-Weight Graphic Designer

We’re hunting a mid‑weight designer who is fast without being sloppy, accurate without being boring, and religiously creative.

Someone who can follow a brief like a bloodhound and still surprise us with the route they took.

Type: Contract position

Start: Project‑by‑project, potential for 1–2 consistent days per week

Location: Melbourne‑based or Australia‑friendly timezone

Rate: Commensurate with experience. We truly believe in paying creatives what they're worth, and then some.

  • We’re Milkshake - a creative brand and marketing agency that builds brands people actively crave, not just politely tolerate. Strategy first. Design with taste. Results that don’t need a 40‑slide preamble. If you enjoy turning sharp thinking into even sharper visuals, pull up a chair.

    This starts project‑by‑project, with the potential to roll into 1–2 days a week for the right human.

    What you’ll do

    • Translate crisp briefs into on‑brand work across digital, social, print, and campaigns

    • Work quickly and accurately, from concepts to finished art

    • Collaborate under an experienced Creative Director who will sharpen your craft, not dull your style

    • Keep files tidy, comms crisp and timelines sacred

    • Bring smart ideas, tasteful experimentation, and a healthy disdain for mediocrity

    You’ll thrive here if you

    • Have 3–5 years of design experience in a studio, agency, or mighty freelance run

    • Speak Adobe CC and Figma like a native, with tight typography and layout skills

    • Can follow a brief, ask incisive questions, and nail the intent

    • Move quickly, sweat details, and balance creativity with practicality

    • Are a decent human who’s enjoyable to work with

    • Bonus points: Agency experience is highly regarded and will be viewed very favourably

    Nice‑to‑haves

    • Packaging design experience

    • Website design experience

    • Basic art direction and production know‑how

    • Experience rolling out brands across multiple channels

    Don't have all of these boxes ticked?

    Apply anyway!

    We're building a team of people who make us insanely jealous of their creativity and ideas. If you think you can make us say 'why didn't I think of that!?', submit an application.

    How to apply
