  • About the project

    Virtuosa Society and Carpe Diem Papers are collaborating to create a beautifully designed, seasonally inspired yearly planner crafted especially for creative women. Rooted in the belief that productivity thrives when aligned with nature’s rhythms, this planner is designed to encourage joyful, intuitive, and sustainable creative living—celebrating the nonlinear journey of inspiration and avoiding burnout.

  • Role overview

As our Graphic Designer, you'll work closely with the collab creative team to design the full layout and visual identity of the planner. Your work will integrate Mindy Carpenter’s nostalgic, vintage-inspired artwork with the refined and intentional aesthetic of Virtuosa Society to create a cohesive, inspiring piece that feels both soulful and practical.

Incorporate brand elements, typography, color palettes, and other visual assets. Communicate and adapt based on feedback from both collaborators.

Familiarity with seasonal or nature-inspired aesthetics is a plus. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and adapting layouts for printing margins/markers.
