Brand designer

About us

Bielke&Yang was founded as a pure design agency in 2012. Today, we work across multiple disciplines to build and develop empathetic brands, spaces and experiences.

We design for people, businesses and society as a whole. We create meaningful solutions that generate real value by solving real problems – always with a focus on usability, innovation, aesthetics and craftsmanship.

Our process is about getting to the essence of a need, defining clear goals and challenging ideas creatively. This allows us to create well-informed, thoughtful and innovative solutions with lasting positive impact.

We value being an independent studio. We follow our own values, define our own principles and are uncompromising about what we believe in. This shapes the kind of work we take on and helps make Bielke&Yang an attractive workplace for some of the strongest people in the industry. It also contributes to consistently high employee engagement and low staff turnover.

We also work closely with our sister agencies Maskinen and Bow, which specialise in communication and content production.

We also want to give something back to the industry. One example is our podcast Ways Into Practice, a resource for students and the next generation of designers.

What we offer

Our studio community is one of the things we value most, and we care about creating a place where people enjoy working and spending time together. We have lunch together every day, weekly design meetings, a Friday wine lottery, and make room for challenging and inspiring each other professionally.

Every year, we travel together on a studio trip. We also find inspiration closer to home through culinary experiences in Oslo, museum visits and exhibitions, as well as climbing and group runs for those who want to join.

About you

You are a designer who cares about holistic brand building and creating great user experiences. You have specialised in how brands can be implemented in an impactful and relevant way – including in digital environments.

It is important that your portfolio has a strong emphasis on identity design, as well as digital products and services. Ideally, you have at least four years of experience from the agency or design industry.

You are curious, comfortable challenging conventions and asking questions. You have high ambitions, enjoy experimenting and are open to being challenged by perspectives different from your own.

You develop strong concepts that make use of new technology where relevant, while also supporting our clients’ business strategies.

Your day-to-day

You will have a varied working day, developing digital solutions for well-known brands as well as leading new projects from concept through to launch.

At times, you will work in depth on one project; at others, you will manage several projects at once. Most often, you will work closely with other designers and developers.

Your responsibilities will include research, concept development, design, implementation, presentations, meetings and client dialogue.
