We are looking for a Creative Dynamo!
Are you a budding design wizard eager to make your mark? We're looking for a talented, ambitious creative who’s ready to jump into the world of packaging design, product design, and digital media. You'll be collaborating with our dynamic team to create innovative visual content for the brands and agencies we work with, as well for our own brand. This role is hands-on from day one—designing initial concepts for product packaging and developing eye-catching digital designs.

This is a junior/entry-level role, perfect for someone looking to grow and expand their skills while working with some of the world's biggest and boldest brands.
Unboxing should feel like a party—and we’re the ones bringing the confetti. At Kitworks, we believe every package should spark joy, create connection, and make brands unforgettable. Because when people feel something, they remember it. That’s why we don’t just make stuff—we make moments. The kind that get unboxed with excitement, snapped for socials, and talked about long after the tape is peeled back. Whether it’s an influencer drop that steals the spotlight, a media kit that makes waves, a branded experience that turns heads, or a VIP gift that actually feels VIP—we make brands impossible to ignore.
