The Digital Designer, Brand & Site owns the ongoing visual design of faherty.com and extends that work outward across the brand's digital channels. The site is the primary canvas — homepage, landing pages, PLP and PDP modules, navigation, and seasonal takeovers — designed and shipped on a continuous cadence.
This is a graphic design–led role. Typography, layout, composition, and color are the core craft, applied to a commerce experience that has to convert as well as it looks. The designer takes seasonal art direction from Brand Creative, builds the site experiences that carry it, and then adapts that expression into email, social, and content. Working alongside Site Ops and Frontend Development, this role balances user needs, business objectives, and the aesthetic standards that define Faherty.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Site Design
- Own the day-to-day design of the site experience — homepage, landing pages, PLP and PDP modules, navigation, and promotional placements — from layout through pixel-level detail.
- Design new features and page templates end to end, producing the artifacts the work requires: user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, interaction detail, and prototypes.
- Translate seasonal campaign creative into site placements, holding the integrity of the art direction while solving for hierarchy, merchandising priorities, and conversion.
- Design within the design system and brand guidelines, contributing components and patterns as the system grows.
- Design responsively and mobile-first, with practical command of how layouts and type systems behave across breakpoints.
- Ensure all designs meet accessibility standards.
- Balance craft and storytelling against KPIs and user success metrics.
App Design
- Design routine and seasonal updates to the Faherty app — merchandising modules, promotional placements, campaign takeovers, and evergreen content — on a continuous cadence alongside the site.
- Carry campaign expression into the app so site and app read as one brand, adapting layouts and type systems to native patterns and screen constraints.
- Partner with the app development team on UiUX, specs, asset handoff, and QA, validating implementation against design intent.
Shopify & Implementation
- Ship design updates directly in Shopify — theme sections, modules, and content blocks — enabling merchandising changes and lightweight optimizations without engineering dependency, while protecting the integrity of the brand's design language.
- Partner with Frontend Development, QA, and site partners through the build cycle: confirm technical feasibility, validate implementation against design intent, surface issues, and iterate on live features post-launch.
- Compress and optimize assets for front-end performance and site speed without sacrificing visual quality.
Optimization & Research
- Measure and optimize site design against KPIs — conversion rate, engagement, task completion — while upholding the visual and emotional quality that defines the Faherty experience.
- Use qualitative and quantitative research, usability testing, and performance data alongside creative judgment and brand instinct to inform and validate design decisions.
- Partner on testing roadmaps with Site Ops and Integrated Marketing, designing variants and reading results back into the work.
Brand Design
- Adapt seasonal campaign expression across site and content channels, applying the typographic and compositional language established by Art Director.
- Work under the direction of the Creative team — Brand Creative, Art Direction, Photography, and Copy — translating approved campaign direction into digital touchpoints that hold the brand's voice and emotional resonance.
- Produce and extend the supporting graphic elements that carry a season across the calendar — typographic lockups, promotional badging, iconography, and layout templates — building from established campaign art direction.
- Stay current on design tools and technique, as well as broader currents in fashion, art, and culture, to execute the work at a competitive craft level.
Collaboration
- Work across Site Ops, Integrated Marketing, CRM, Retention, Merch, and external agencies to deliver seamless, consistent experiences across channels.
- Design cohesively across web, app, and in-store so the brand reads as one thing.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Graphic design craft. A discerning eye for typography, layout, composition, color, iconography, and editorial design.
- E-commerce design experience. Proven work designing and shipping retail or DTC site experiences, with an understanding of merchandising logic and conversion.
- UI/UX fluency. Comfortable moving between user flows, information architecture, and wireframing to high-fidelity interface design, interaction detail, and motion considerations. Familiar with how research and testing inform design decisions.
- Design systems. Able to work inside an established system and extend it — building components and patterns that hold up as the system scales, rather than one-off screens.
- Hands-on Shopify. Comfortable working directly in the theme editor to independently ship design and merchandising updates.
- Figma. Advanced proficiency, including component libraries, variants, auto layout, and prototyping.
- AI proficiency. Hands-on fluency with AI tools in a production design workflow — image generation and editing, asset variation, retouching, and rapid iteration — with the craft judgment to know when output meets brand standards and when it needs to be reworked by hand.
- Creative partnership. Demonstrated ability to work hand in hand with Creative Directors, Art Directors, and Brand teams to translate creative vision into digital execution.
- Business acumen balanced with creative integrity. Ability to weigh user needs, business objectives, and brand vision — focusing on measurable outcomes while protecting the craft and storytelling that build long-term brand equity.
- Adaptability and organization. Able to manage multiple projects, prioritize, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment with a solutions-oriented approach.
- Motion and video. Functional knowledge of video editing, with the ability to brief, source, and adapt motion assets across placements from homepage hero modules to PDPs and editorial features.
COMPENSATION
- The base salary range for this position is $115,000 - 120,000 USD, but we will consider location, skill level and experience to determine the final offer.
BENEFITS
- Health benefits
- 401(K) Plan with company match
- Incentives Program
- Commuter Options/Benefits
- Generous employee discount

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Brand Designer
Align your portfolio to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Brand design roles must meet the DOL's specialty occupation criteria, meaning the job must require a specific bachelor's degree. Frame your portfolio around strategic brand systems and design thinking, not just execution, to reinforce the degree-level nature of your work.
Target employers with in-house brand teams
Agencies and startups sometimes classify brand designers as generalists, which can complicate E-3 visa eligibility. In-house brand teams at established companies are more likely to write job descriptions that explicitly require a bachelor's degree in a design discipline.
Get your Australian credentials formally evaluated
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes, but your employer may request a formal credential evaluation. Arrange this through a NACES-member evaluator before your offer stage to avoid delays.
Confirm the employer will file an LCA before signing
The LCA is the employer's responsibility and must be certified by the DOL before you can apply at the consulate. Ask your hiring manager directly whether their HR or legal team has filed LCAs before, since many design studios have no prior E-3 experience.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA preparation, visa paperwork, and consulate appointment prep end-to-end, so neither you nor your employer needs prior E-3 experience to get it right.
Prepare for consulate questions about your degree and role alignment
Consular officers will assess whether your specific degree field connects directly to the brand designer role on offer. Prepare a concise explanation of how your design education applies to the responsibilities in your offer letter, especially if your degree title differs from the job title.
E-3 Visa Brand Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Brand Designer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Search Migrate Mate to filter Brand Designer roles by employers with active E-3 visa sponsorship history. Most general job boards don't surface sponsorship status, so you can spend weeks applying to roles where the employer has never filed an LCA. Migrate Mate surfaces employers already familiar with the E-3 process, which significantly shortens the path from application to offer.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Brand Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific design-related field such as graphic design, visual communication, or a closely related discipline. The requirement must be genuine, not just preferred. Roles that accept any degree, or where no degree is technically required, won't meet the specialty occupation standard. How the employer writes the job description matters significantly here.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Brand Designers?
The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian citizens and has no lottery, no annual cap, and renews every two years indefinitely. The H-1B visa requires entering a lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate and can take years to secure. For an Australian brand designer with a qualifying job offer, the E-3 is a far more direct and predictable path than the H-1B.
What happens to my E-3 status if I want to change employers or go freelance?
Your E-3 is tied to a specific employer and a specific role. If you change jobs, your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. Freelancing or contracting on the side while on E-3 status isn't permitted without separate authorization. Plan any employer transitions carefully to avoid a gap in your work authorization.
