We’re Precious Brands — a full-service creative agency in Kingston-upon-Thames, working across packaging, print, content production, digital design, brand strategy and creative direction for luxury fragrance brands, higher-end celebrity brands, and exciting food and drink names on the up. We’re a small, close-knit studio who genuinely love what we do — beauty, fragrance, and making beautiful things.
We’re on the hunt for a Creative Artworker with packaging experience to join our design team part-time, working alongside our two Senior Designers to bring concepts to life as flawless, print-ready artwork and digital assets.
This role is all about the details — we’re looking for the kind of person who can’t let something go to print until it’s just right 🙂
What You’ll Be Doing
- Producing accurate, print-ready packaging artwork from design concepts, using dielines and technical information
- Getting hands-on with print processes and substrates (foil, embossing, spot varnish, litho, digital) for beautiful premium packaging
- Checking artwork against brand guidelines and print specs (bleed, trim, colour breakdowns, ink coverage)
- Managing file handovers and version control with printers and production partners
- Supporting the design team with mock-ups and client-ready visuals
- Creating digital banners and assets
Technical Skills We’re Looking For
- Proven artworking experience, ideally in packaging or premium print
- Expertise in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, with solid dieline experience
- A real eye for detail and strong print production knowledge
- Comfortable juggling deadlines across a few live projects at once
- Based within commuting distance of Kingston — this is a hybrid role, with some studio days each week
- Figma (or willingness to learn) for digital assets creation
Soft Skills We’re Looking For
- Adaptable – happy to switch things up as priorities and briefs change
- Easy-going – calm under pressure, approachable, and just genuinely nice to work with
- Positive – brings good energy and a can-do attitude
- Commercially aware – understands how design supports the bigger brand picture
- Resourceful – finds a way, even when the brief (or the budget) is tricky
