Our partner is looking for a Freelance Packaging Designer – AI-Assisted Concept Development based in Spain. As a freelance packaging designer, you will transform creative ideas into compelling packaging concepts using a combination of design expertise and AI-powered creative tools. You will work on early-stage label designs, packaging variations, flavor extensions, and limited-edition concepts for consumer beverage products. Your work will support strategic discussions, product innovation, and faster decision-making before designs move into final production. This project-based opportunity offers flexibility for independent professionals who want to build a long-term client relationship alongside their existing projects. Accountabilities:
- Develop initial packaging and label concepts based on project briefs, translating brand objectives and product requirements into distinctive visual directions.
- Combine AI-generated imagery with traditional graphic design techniques to refine visual ideas and ensure they align with brand identity and packaging objectives.
- Revise and improve concepts based on consolidated stakeholder feedback, meeting agreed project milestones and turnaround times.
- Deliver concept boards, rough mockups, and presentation-ready visuals that can be handed over to internal design teams or external agencies for final production artwork.
- Explore creative alternatives and rapidly test design directions to support efficient concept evaluation and product innovation.
- Manage project deliverables independently, determining the appropriate creative methods, tools, workflow, and schedule to meet agreed objectives.
- Coordinate project scope, deliverables, milestones, and any additional services through mutually agreed briefs or statements of work.
- Maintain professional standards regarding confidentiality, intellectual property, brand guidelines, and the proper licensing of creative tools and software.

Requirements:
- At least 5 years of professional experience in CPG packaging design, brand design, packaging innovation, or a closely related field. Advanced, hands-on proficiency with AI-powered creative tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, ChatGPT/DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, or comparable platforms.
- Strong command of traditional graphic design software, particularly Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, with the ability to combine AI-generated concepts with established design workflows.
- A portfolio demonstrating relevant consumer product packaging projects, creative brand development, and AI-assisted concept generation.
- A strong understanding of packaging design principles, visual storytelling, shelf presence, consumer behavior, and current CPG design trends.
- Ability to generate multiple creative directions quickly, respond constructively to feedback, and refine concepts within short project timelines.
