We’re looking for a talented, passionate and proactive Junior Graphic Designer to join our team.

We’re looking for someone who wants to contribute to the ongoing development of our studio and keeps on top of developments in graphic and motion design, and identifies their relevance to the V&A. You have a passion for accessibility, sustainable design solutions, and will support the success of the Museum’s public programme, activities and goals across all V&A venues.
