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 Senior Brand Designer
Frame your portfolio for U.S. specialty occupation
Your portfolio needs to demonstrate that senior brand design requires a specific degree, not just creativity. Curate case studies that show strategy, systems thinking, and brand architecture, the kind of work that signals a specialty occupation to a consular officer.
Target employers with active DOL filing history
Search DOL's Labor Condition Application disclosure data to identify U.S. employers who have filed LCAs for design roles. These companies have already run the process before, so your sponsorship conversation starts from a position of familiarity, not education.
Prepare your Australian degree equivalency early
A three-year Australian bachelor's in design is generally accepted as equivalent to a four-year U.S. degree for E-3 visa purposes, but have your transcripts ready and your degree institution details documented before you reach the offer stage, not after.
Clarify the LCA wage level before accepting an offer
Your employer must file an LCA certifying your salary meets DOL prevailing wage standards for your role and location. Confirm the wage level they intend to file at before you sign anything, since a Level I wage on a Senior Designer title can trigger scrutiny.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your application
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. The service manages everything from DOL certification through consulate preparation, so you're not navigating government portals while also onboarding into a new role.
Build your cover letter around specialty occupation proof
The E-3 consular interview often includes questions about why the role requires a degree. Write a cover letter that connects your design responsibilities directly to your academic background, making the specialty occupation argument explicit rather than leaving it for the officer to infer.
E-3 Visa Senior Brand Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Senior Brand Designer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
The most direct way is to search Migrate Mate, which filters U.S. design jobs by employers with E-3 sponsorship history. Most general job boards don't surface visa sponsorship filters at all, and sorting it out manually across listings is time-consuming. Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals on the E-3 path.
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 Senior Brand Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the employer's job description requires a bachelor's degree in graphic design, visual communication, or a closely related field. Roles that list a degree as preferred rather than required can create problems at the consulate. Make sure the position description your employer puts on the LCA specifies a degree requirement, not just a preference.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Senior Brand Designer roles?
The E-3 is a significantly more predictable path for Australian designers. There's no lottery, no annual cap, and you can apply directly at a U.S. consulate in Australia within weeks of receiving an offer. The H-1B visa requires winning a random lottery in April for an October start, making it an unreliable option for roles you're trying to start within a normal hiring timeline.
Can I switch employers after I start working on an E-3 as a brand designer?
Yes, but the E-3 is employer-specific, meaning your current visa is tied to your existing employer's LCA. If you change jobs, your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need to attend a new consular interview in Australia to get a new E-3 stamp. You can continue working during the transition only if you time the switch carefully.
