Join Us As A Regenerative Designer: Where Creativity Meets Regeneration
Are you a seasoned designer who thrives in vibrant, startup environments? Do you have a knack for translating complex ideas into compelling visual stories? If you're passionate about design and eager to make a meaningful impact, your next big opportunity might just be with us at Zebra Growth.
We are looking for a senior contractor to join us as a regenerative Graphic Designer to help our ecosystem of regenerative businesses thrive. From vertical farming, to biochemicals, and community-owned writing software, to regenerative eco-villages and more. We are an industry agnostic marketing agency that looks beyond growth.
As we are an early staged startup (3 years old), we are wanting this role to start as a contractor for a 3-6 month period, ideally leading to a full-time role to help us shape the future of our design department (and regenerative marketing/design in general).
Important: How to apply:
Job applications close 24/04/2024 and we have an anticipated start date of Late May (with some flexibility if needed).

1) How would you summarize your super power in your job?
2) How do you think design can plan a role in creating a new regenerative economy?
3) What excites you about the role the most?
4) How do you collaborate with others in a team and what are you looking for in other team members? 5) What was the situation you can remember of where you managed to consciously deal with the uncomfortable in order to improve or grow?
*Please make sure the video is between 5-6 mins. Also please note that any application without a video will not be considered.
As Yung Pueblo beautifully said…
“Pick the path that lights you up
The one you know deep down is the right choice
Stop listening to doubt
Start connecting with courage
Do not let the idea of normal get in the way
It may not be the easy path
But you know great things take effort
Lean into your determination
Lean into your mission
Lean into the real you”
