About Blank Street

At Blank Street, we’re on a mission to become the defining food and beverage brand of our generation. From the very beginning, we’ve set out to add a spark to ordinary experiences through elevated products, attention-to-detail, and a commitment to making every moment memorable. We’re motivated by the millions of customers we serve across cities, and know that our potential is unlimited. It all starts with our people and their commitment to make magic happen each and every day. 

Add a Spark to the Ordinary…

Blank Street is looking for a Brand Designer to join our Brand & Creative team, working across digital, social, print, campaigns and the spaces our customers walk into every day.

Reporting to the our Global Creative Director, this role is 4 days in-person and based out of our Brooklyn, NY office.

Who We’re Looking For

For you to own a project end to end. You can take a new shop opening or activation from first concept to launch day, keeping stakeholders, timelines and feedback on track along the way.

For you to care about how things get made. You’re as invested in print and signage production, vendor conversations and budgets as you are in the design itself.

For you to be a strong partner. You work alongside our Art Director on everything we make, and collaborate closely with Marketing, Digital and other cross-functional teams.

For you to explain your thinking. You present work with confidence and can clearly articulate the decisions behind it.

For you to keep us sharp. You’re always noticing design trends, competitive moves and cultural shifts, and bringing what’s relevant back to the team.

A project leader: Your portfolio shows work you’ve led from idea through to finished execution.

A confident presenter: You’re comfortable walking stakeholders through your work and the reasoning behind it.

Detail-obsessed: You believe the ordinary can be remarkable, and you care about the details across everything from cups to campaigns to spaces.

Production-minded: You understand how design translates into print, signage and physical environments.

Collaborative: You thrive in a tight-knit creative team and build strong relationships across the business.

Ambitious: You want your work to be visible and you’re looking for real room to grow.

What You’ll Own

Shop Openings & Activations: Leading design for new shop openings and activations, from first concept to launch day.

Project Management: Managing stakeholders, timelines and feedback across your projects.

Print & Signage Production: Leading production and working directly with vendors on quality, budget and timelines.

Campaign Delivery: Supporting the team in delivering campaign assets globally across digital, social and print.

Cross-Functional Partnership: Partnering with Marketing, Digital and other teams to bring new products, shops and campaigns to life.

Creative Perspective: Staying sharp on design trends, competitive moves and cultural shifts, and bringing what’s relevant back to the team.

Requirements

3–5 years of experience in graphic, brand or environmental design. Retail or hospitality experience is a plus but not mandatory.

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. Working knowledge of Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro is a plus.

A portfolio of projects you’ve led from idea to finished work.

Based in New York, working mainly from our Brooklyn office.
