Are you a designer who thrives on bold ideas, hands-on creativity, and the chance to shape a vision that leaves a mark on spaces across the world?
Artstory | Elegant Clutter are looking for a
Lead Designer
to join our vibrant studio in Leamington Spa. We create bespoke artwork and sculpture for hotels, restaurants, and spaces around the world. From delicate sketches to large-scale installations, our work tells stories that transform interiors into unforgettable experiences.
Why this role?
This isn't a typical design job. As Lead Designer

* Lead by example — designing, sketching, and creating alongside the team.
* Inspire and guide designers and artists, ensuring their best work shines through.
* Collaborate with international artists, internal makers, and clients to deliver art that sparks emotion.
* Present creative ideas with passion and clarity, winning hearts and minds.
* Oversee projects through to production, ensuring every detail is right.
* Show leadership in a busy work environment. Several of the designers in the team will report into this role.
What we're looking for
* A degree in Graphic Design, Fine Art, Textile Design — or equivalent experience that proves your creative expertise.
* 8+ years in a creative studio environment with a portfolio that shows vision, imagination, and originality.
* Experience leading and mentoring designers while staying hands-on yourself.
* Fluency in Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, with a good understanding of digital print.
* A strong eye for colour, composition, and storytelling through design.
* Hand-painting or drawing skills are a big plus.
* Organised, collaborative, and full of positive creative energy.
Why join us?
At Artstory | Elegant Clutter, art really can be anything — and anything is possible. You'll be part of a studio where fine art and design collide, where ideas are nurtured and pushed further, and where your work will be seen on a global stage. Every project is different. Every day is creative.
This is your chance to shape the future of our art collections, work with an exceptional team, and create work that truly inspires.
