Senior Designer - Brand & Visual Systems (m/f/d)

Berlin (Full-time)

As a Senior Designer at Sunst, you combine strong graphic design craft with the ability to build clear and scalable visual systems for immersive brand experiences. You translate brand positioning into contemporary visual languages that operate across identities, activations, environments and communication.

You think in systems rather than assets — structuring complexity and turning ideas into design frameworks that remain coherent across formats, media and spatial contexts. Strong fundamentals in typography, composition and layout are essential. But this role goes beyond craft.

You understand how brands operate within culture and how visual languages evolve to stay relevant. Working closely with Creative Direction and Spatial Design, you help shape visual worlds and translate them into systems that hold together across every touchpoint of an experience.

Even in fast-moving projects, you maintain clarity, aesthetic precision and structural control. This role requires both design instinct and system thinking — shaping visual languages while building the frameworks that allow them to scale.
