Marketing Communications Graphic Design Freelancer

Graphic Designer
We're a Hawai'i-rooted, globally connected consulting firm blending business, brand, marketing, and communications. We believe great design is more than decoration. It helps organizations earn trust, move people, and create impact.
AI is changing the creative process in real time - accelerating ideation, expanding visual possibilities, and creating entirely new ways to tell stories. We're not afraid of that shift. This is a hands-on creative role within Alchemyst Studios, our in-house creative team.
You'll work across print, digital, social, video, presentation design, campaigns, environmental graphics, and emerging media. Some days you'll be refining brand systems. Other days you'll be building motion graphics, designing social campaigns, experimenting with AI-generated concepts, or helping shape storytelling for organizations doing meaningful work in Hawai'i.
You'll collaborate closely with strategists, communicators, writers, and creatives locally and across the global ICOM network.

A Few Things About Our Culture
We move fast, collaborate often, and believe ego kills good creative work. It may help a school inspire future generations, help a nonprofit serve communities more effectively, help a local business grow, or help organizations navigate moments that truly matter.
We also believe Hawai'i deserves world-class creative work rooted in authentic cultural understanding - not generic ideas imported from somewhere else. Through our global ICOM network, you'll have opportunities to collaborate with and learn from designers, strategists, and agencies around the world, bringing fresh ideas and global thinking back home to Hawai'i.
