Graphic Designer

The Graphic Designer supports TOMY’s brands through creative design and production across trade shows, showrooms, retail displays, catalogs, and marketing communications. This role takes projects from initial concept through final artwork, translating creative direction and project briefs into effective, consistent brand communications.

Working under the direction of the graphics lead, the designer balances creative thinking with strong execution and attention to detail. They can move comfortably between trade-show graphics and layouts, catalog spreads and digital marketing while managing deadlines and maintaining quality.

The role is distinct from package design. This role supports trade show graphics, retail displays, collateral, sales and marketing communication visual assets, licensor-compliant artwork, artwork handoffs, while package design remains with the relevant business or technical team.

Success requires strong 2D and 3D visual thinking, a multi-disciplinary graphics background, attention to detail, asset discipline, practical production knowledge, and the ability to work across brand, product, supplier, legal/product integrity, marketing shared services and regional needs.
