Who We Are 
Hi! We’re Thinkingbox, the brief-to-built agency. Creating innovative digital, experiential, social, and content-driven work, we partner with leading brands across industries like sports, gaming, entertainment, and technology. We believe the hands that carefully craft the work should belong to the minds that dreamed it. So while others pass the buck, we’re already building. Because our thinkers are also the makers. Culture is at the heart of who we are, and our offices are hubs of natural collaboration. From hanging out with our office dogs to enjoying Thursday happy hours, we keep our work environment vibrant, welcoming, and fun. Each year, we also encourage our people to spend a month exploring the world, whether that means working from another office or even from the beaches of Mexico, to expand their perspectives and bring fresh inspiration back to the team.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a curious and driven Junior Designer to join our Chicago team. This role is ideal for recent grads or early-career creatives who are ready to jump in, contribute, and grow quickly. At Thinkingbox, we value strong ideas, thoughtful execution, and work that resonates.


You’ll help bring concepts to life through style frames, pitch decks, and visual explorations, working across campaigns, brand expression, and experiential projects. Collaborating with your peer designers, strategists, motion designers, and producers, you’ll help shape early ideas into compelling creative. Reporting to one of our Creative Directors, you’ll build a strong foundation in concept-driven, narrative-led design and creative problem solving.

  • Support the development of pitch decks and creative treatments that clearly communicate ideas
  • Create style frames and moodboards to help define the look and feel of projects
  • Contribute to brand expression systems, including typography, color, and imagery
  • Design visual assets for motion, film, and experiential outputs
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure cohesive creative across all touchpoints
  • Participate in brainstorming and help translate ideas into strong visual concepts
  • Research visual trends and cultural references to inform the work
  • Iterate on designs based on feedback while maintaining quality and intent
  • Recently graduated or 1–2 years of experience in design
  • A portfolio that demonstrates conceptual thinking, visual storytelling, and strong design fundamentals
  • Interest in brand, campaign, motion, and experiential work, especially early-stage concept development
  • Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
  • Solid understanding of typography, composition, and color
  • Strong attention to detail and a thoughtful approach to craft
  • Collaborative mindset with openness to feedback and iteration
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and adapt in a fast-paced environment
  • Monday - Thursday in office (Fridays are remote optional)
  • Flexible time off, including paid vacation and sick days
  • Consistent culture and team-building events
  • Employee recognition and incentive programs
  • Seasonal celebrations and gatherings throughout the year 
  • Office lunches 
  • Branded company swag
  • Access to industry events, learning opportunities, and non-profit outreaches
