Description

Founded by Larry McGuire, Tom Moorman, and Liz Lambert, MML is recognized for its refined, character-driven approach to restaurants, hotels and retail, each concept deeply rooted in creativity, quality, and a true sense of place.

Position Overview
MML Hospitality is seeking a highly skilled Graphic Designer to join our Brand & Creative Design Team. This role supports a portfolio of distinct restaurant, hotel, and retail brands and requires a strong foundation in environmental, print, and brand system design.

The ideal candidate understands how a brand translates into physical space — from menus and signage to in-room collateral, packaging, uniforms, and digital touchpoints. They also understand how to convey hospitality concepts into visual brand narratives for internal and external use. They are detail-oriented, production-savvy, and comfortable managing multiple active projects in a fast-paced hospitality environment.

This designer should have a professional-level understanding of the full design lifecycle — strategy, concept, refinement, production, and vendor-ready delivery — with a strong sensitivity to typography, materials, and experiential consistency. They also need strong layout skills for project pitches, team  presentations and ownership reviews.

Candidates should be comfortable moving between high-level brand design, brand asset organization and management, smaller day-to-day design updates and admin tasks. This role reports directly to the Brand & Creative Studio Director and is a full-time, in-office position.

What you’ll do:

• Design and produce high-quality print, digital, and environmental assets across restaurant, hotel, and retail concepts (menus, collateral, packaging, signage, marketing materials, event graphics, web assets, etc.).
• Maintain and evolve multi-brand systems while preserving the integrity and distinct voice and identity of each concept.
• Prepare production-ready files and collaborate directly with printers, fabricators, and signage vendors to ensure accurate execution.
• Develop mockups and presentation materials for pre-opening projects, property signage, and brand rollouts.
• Communicate with operations teams and on-site management to support ongoing brand maintenance, updates, and seasonal changes.
• Collaborate closely with marketing, web, development, and leadership teams to translate strategic goals into cohesive visual solutions.
• Manage and organize design files, templates, and asset libraries to ensure long-term scalability and accessibility.
• Contribute to typography, layout, visual system maintenance and development across new and existing brands.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years of professional graphic design experience, preferably within hospitality, lifestyle, retail, or experiential brands.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating environmental design, print production, and brand system thinking.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop). After Effects is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience preparing production files and working with exterior production vendors.
• Deep understanding of typography, layout systems, and hierarchy.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills and comfort interfacing with cross-functional teams.
• Experience in hospitality or multi-location brand environments strongly preferred.
• Experience in signage design and architectural coordination is a plus.
• Proficiency in Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive)
• Familiarity with web asset production and light UI/UX support is a plus.

Why you'll want to work for MML:

• Competitive Salary + Bonus Potential
• Paid Time Off
• MML Property Discounts (Hotel, Restaurant, Retail)
• Fitness and Health Benefits
• Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability, Life, and Pet Insurance
• Retirement Benefits
• Parental Leave
• Advancement and Promotion Opportunities
• Community Service Opportunities
