ABOUT NIRVA
Nirva is building the first AI fashion accessory for your mind — a necklace or bracelet that privately listens only to the wearer to enable proactive journaling, emotion tracking, and life coaching. Think Oura Ring for your Mind.
Backed by Lightspeed and South Park Commons, recognized at CES within 90 days of founding, and launching in the U.S. this fall. Co-founders bring backgrounds from Meta Reality Labs (Quest, Ray-Ban glasses) and 7+ years in the fashion industry. We're building a movement toward conscious, mindful living — and we need our first marketing leader to help define and own that story.
THE ROLE
You'll be our founding designer — the person who defines how Nirva looks and feels wherever it shows up. This is a deliberately multidisciplinary role: brand identity, graphic and marketing design, packaging and physical brand, web, social, and digital/product design all live with you. You'll work directly with the co-founders, set the visual language from scratch, and own the craft end to end as we launch.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Brand identity & system — evolve and own Nirva's visual language: logo, type, color, motion, and the guidelines that keep everything coherent.
Graphic & marketing design — campaign creative, ads, social, decks, and the steady stream of assets a launch runs on.
Brand materials — the physical, printed side of the brand: packaging, unboxing, retail, events, and collateral.
Digital & product design — web and landing pages, email, and app/product UI alongside the product team.
Content & motion — short-form video, animation, and the visual storytelling that travels on social.
Craft & consistency — set the quality bar across every surface, and build the templates and systems that let the team move fast without going off-brand.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must-haves
A strong, multidisciplinary portfolio spanning brand, graphic, and digital/product design.
Real range — comfortable moving between brand identity, marketing creative, packaging, and UI in the same week.
Premium brand sensibility — you know instinctively what off-brand looks like.
Early-stage comfort: self-directed, fast, and happy owning the work with little process.
Fluency with modern design tools (Figma, Adobe CC) and AI-native design workflows.
Based in San Francisco and able to work in person.
Strong signals (nice-to-haves)
Motion, video, 3D, or product/CGI rendering.
Experience branding consumer hardware or a fashion product — packaging, retail, and the physical side.
Experience taking a brand from zero: building an identity system, not just applying one.
Illustration chops or a distinctive personal style.
COMPENSATION
Compensation — $100K–$200K + equity, level-dependent.
Location — San Francisco, in person.
