Design Team Call: April-Sept 2023 Term

Hello crafty friends! We’re looking for some new additions to our Heffy Doodle Design Team for the new term running April-September 2023. We have several positions available across our team, so perhaps you will find something that suits your skillset just right! 

We are open to international applicants (Heffy Doodle is based in the UK), and you don’t need to have any previous Design Team experience in order to apply. We have roles available in the Blog Team, the Instagram Team, and the Video Team. All positions share the following requirements across the board, so no matter which role(s) appeals to you the most, here are some things that you’ll need to be able to do:

• You’ll need to love stamping and making fun, creative projects to share.
  
• Be able to take quality photographs of your projects with excellent lighting and creative staging.
  
• Have an active Instagram account. It’s also a bonus if you have a YouTube account and/or blog.
  
• Use Facebook to interact with the team in a private Facebook group. Additionally, we would like our team to be active in the Heffy Doodlers Facebook group.
  
• Be eager to help grow the Heffy Doodle brand. We like our team to be encouraging to customers, present their ideas, share advice, give feedback and support each other. 
  
• Create quality projects using Heffy Doodle products. As we want to encourage growth within the industry, you will not be restricted to solely Heffy Doodle products when making your projects, but we ask that Heffy Doodle is the focus of your projects.
  
• Share your Heffy Doodle creations (your Heffy Doodle projects, sneak peeks or work-in-progress shots, etc.) on social media, with a heavy focus on Instagram.

If you think you would fit the bill, then keep scrolling – we have some more information on what is different about each roll.
