Hiring | Graphic Designer

Graphic Designer | Vijayawada / Amaravati (Full-time)

This is not a resize the banner and change the font role.

AD96 is building one of the most integrated brand-activation platforms in Andhra Pradesh: an in-house creative studio, our own DOOH network running on our own CMS, performance marketing, market research, and on-ground events, all under one roof. Our designs don't sit in a PDF. They run on screens across the city, in feeds, on shop fronts and on stage.

We need a designer who thinks before they open Photoshop.

What we're looking for:

• 3-4 years of design experience (agency, studio, brand, or a serious freelance body of work)
• A portfolio that shows ideas, not just layouts. We want to see why something looks the way it does
• Strong command of typography, composition and colour, plus the judgment to know when to break the rules
• Comfortable designing across formats: social, DOOH and outdoor, print, motion-ready static, event branding
• Ease with Telugu typography and the visual culture of the market we design for
• Fluency in Adobe tools, and real curiosity about AI image tools as part of the workflow, not a gimmick

Strongly preferred:

• Basic motion design (After Effects or similar). DOOH loves movement
• Experience building campaign systems, not just one-off posts
• Some illustration, 3D, or experimental work you made just because you wanted to

We are NOT looking for:

• Template-driven designers who start every brief on Canva or Freepik
• Portfolios full of festival greetings and Happy Ugadi posts
• People who wait to be told exactly what to make

The opportunity

• Work directly with the founder and the creative team on real brands across automotive, retail, sports and more
• See your work live on our own screen network, sometimes within days of designing it
• Room to shape the visual identity of a fast-growing AdTech company from the ground up

If you've ever looked at a hoarding and thought I'd have done that completely differently — we should talk.

To apply: Email [HIDDEN TEXT] or DM me on LinkedIn with your portfolio and one piece of work you're proud of, plus one sentence on the idea behind it. No idea, no interview.
