Junior Designer

Relish – Hybrid | Winnipeg or Calgary

Design That Matters.

Relish is an employee-owned creative agency with studios in Winnipeg and Calgary. Since 1998, we’ve grown from a one-person studio into a 18-person team of strategists, designers, developers, educators, and entrepreneurs.

We build brands. We design systems. We launch ideas that live in the real world.

Our clients include cultural institutions, associations, Indigenous-led organizations, non-profits, and purpose-driven brands across Canada. We are also a Certified B Corporation – which means we care deeply about the impact of our work, not just the aesthetics of it.

We believe creativity and strategy are inseparable.

Who This Role Is For

We’re looking for a Junior Designer with 1-3 years of experience who is ready to lead creative thinking – not just execute it.

• Concept-driven, not template-driven
• Strategic in your thinking and precise in your craft
• Equally strong in brand systems and applied execution
• Calm under pressure and collaborative by default

You understand that good design is beautiful.

Great design changes behaviour.

This is a hybrid role based in Winnipeg or Calgary. We value in-person collaboration – but we also respect autonomy and focus time.

What You’ll Do

• Lead concept development across brand, campaign, and digital projects
