Description
We're looking for a graphic designer to join the milk + honey marketing team on a contract basis. You work across email, social, and print — and you care equally about the concept and the craft.
You'll work directly with the senior designer and marketing team. Plans shift, priorities pivot, and the team moves quickly. We need someone who stays steady, communicates clearly, and brings good instincts to the work.
milk + honey is a thriving collection of day spas, salons, and medSPAs, dedicated to helping people relax, feel good, and prioritize their well-being. Guided by our core values- kindness, connection, integrity, inclusiveness, and excellence, we create a welcoming space where guests can unwind and enjoy high-quality self-care services. From luxurious spa and medSPA treatments to expert salon services, our team is passionate about delivering exceptional experiences that nourish the body and mind. Join us in our mission to help people relax and feel good; provide a place where guests can escape, nourish their wellbeing, and satisfy their self-care.
What To Expect
This is a remote independent contractor engagement. You'll work directly with the milk + honey senior designer and marketing team. You’ll have access to brand assets, templates, and team channels to stay connected.

Clear, timely communicator
Flexible when plans shift; you adapt quickly
Comfortable using AI tools (Claude, Firefly) to accelerate ideation, wireframing, and iteration
A genuine curiosity for conceptual thinking alongside the technical craft
Bonus points
Web design experience or basic HTML/CSS fluency
Light animation/gif creation skills
A love for the milk + honey brand — our values, aesthetic, and guest experience resonate with you personally
What Success Looks Like

In The First 30 Days
Work feels on-brand — you've absorbed the guidelines and it shows
First email and social assets delivered with minimal revisions
Ongoing
Files are delivered on-spec and on time
Errors are caught before they reach the team — correct names, sizes, print specs
You bring ideas: a better layout, a smarter template, a faster approach
Feedback conversations are easy — you engage, ask questions, and come back stronger
You communicate proactively when timelines shift or scope is unclear
If this sounds like you, we'd love to see your work. Share your portfolio and a brief note on why milk + honey feels like a fit for you.
