We love to push things.
Like brands, boundaries, and buttons.
We push limits to create work we’re proud of, with results clients brag about. Occasionally, we even push pause to reflect, recharge, and repeat.
We have a kink for street tacos on Tuesdays, space-themed foeder-aged Belgian ales, Houston 'Stros, and car analogies indiscriminately applied.
We are a diverse team with diverse tastes—doers and designers, thinkers and writers, movers and shakers—channeling our collective energies into one direction.
Principles
The Propellants’ Credo. Say it with us.
We’re not in this for ourselves. Our passions, efforts, and triumphs are all about helping our clients have a positive experience.
Some stand on the shoulders of giants. We lift each other up, achieving impressive heights in the process.
There may be no “I” in “team.” But there are plenty in “responsibility.” Those we respect depend on it.
Good is not good enough. What we do must turn heads, change minds, and alter the trajectory of the status quo.
We are always prepared, playing five-dimensional chess to achieve the promised outcome.
Actually, give it a big, fearless bear hug, because change is a given. We can’t fight it or run from it.
Positions
Join the movement.
Forward motion doesn’t just happen. It requires passion, talent, and backbones of steel. Help us propel our clients to the apogee of expectation.
The Senior Designer at Pennebaker is a hybrid thinker and maker—part brand designer, part digital craftsperson. This role is focused on creating thoughtful, strategically grounded work across brand systems and digital experiences, with a strong emphasis on website design. You’ll work closely with creative directors, strategists, writers, and developers to bring brands to life with clarity, precision, and purpose. We’re looking for someone who finds as much joy in the logic of a responsive grid as they do in the emotional resonance of a brand’s visual identity. If you care as much about the why as the how, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do
As Senior Designer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping and executing the visual expression of our clients’ brands—translating strategy into thoughtful, compelling design across digital and brand touchpoints.
Creating & Executing
- Translate complex brand strategies into cohesive visual systems, often taking the lead on design direction from concept to launch.
- Participate actively in internal reviews, contributing ideas and refining work through thoughtful iteration
- Present design work clearly and confidently, explaining decisions in terms of strategy, usability, and brand alignment
- Collaborate with developers to ensure designs translate effectively into functional, high-quality digital experiences
- Manage multiple projects with focus, accountability, and attention to deadlines
Expertise & Experience
We’re looking for a designer with strong digital instincts, a sharp eye, and a deep respect for craft. You understand how brands live and move in digital environments, and you know how to design systems—not just screens.
- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience
- Expert-level proficiency in Figma; strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite
- Strong understanding of UX/UI principles, responsive design, and modern website design practices
- Proven experience designing complete websites, including wireframes, page layouts, and design systems

- A portfolio that demonstrates strong digital work, brand thinking, and refined visual execution
- Ability to collaborate effectively with creative directors, strategists, writers, and developers
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Motion and interactive design skills are a plus, including experience with Framer or Webflow
