Who We Are

Tower 28 is building a world where beauty is accessible, inclusive, and sensitive. We want to push the boundaries of what beauty should be, a mix of high quality, high standards, and high levels of fun. We want to be a beauty big sister, who knows what’s right (clean, non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free) but also knows how to have a good time (clean beauty doesn’t have to be so serious!).

The Role

You’ll also bring experience with packaging, retail, and print to the table, supporting on physical brand touchpoints as needed.

This role requires a strong conceptual and aesthetic eye, hands-on design expertise, and a passion for creating fun, ownable, and elevated design that brings the Tower 28 brand to life.

This position is hybrid and based in Los Angeles, California, with three days a week in the office. This role will report directly to the Design Director and partner closely with cross-functional teams.
