Graphic Designer

REFRESH'D is a privately owned, internally funded startup specializing in freeze-dried foods for the general market. The company pairs startup energy with a proven track record: our founding team built one of Utah's most successful food brands and scaled it from national to international retail. Harvest Right, the Salt Lake City company that pioneered home freeze-drying in 2011, is a founding partner. This is a hands-on, high-ownership design role — the first in-house designer at REFRESH'D. Working closely with marketing leadership and our brand foundations, the Graphic Designer will own day-to-day creative output across packaging, digital, social, retail, and print. This role is ideal for a designer early in their career who wants end-to-end ownership of a brand's visual world rather than a narrow slice of one.
