Station Four is growing. We're currently looking to bring in two people over the next couple weeks - a graphic designer and a web design/production intern. Our primary goal is to expand our capacity (so many projects, so little time). Second, we're looking for someone who wont just allow us to process more work, but can add something to the company. The job descriptions are intentionally vague - you bring the raw talent, we'll teach the rest.
Please contact through via email (info@stationfour.com). Only applicants who provide a portfolio will be considered (digital/pdf is okay).
