A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

TwoTone Creative is a small design agency located in Des Moines, Iowa. TwoTone started almost five years ago from my home. We’ve grown over the past five years and have, once again, reached full capacity, and we are looking for a sixth team member!

We work with a variety of clients, helping them with their communication strategies, design, messaging, social, and marketing initiatives. Our small team allows us to be nimble, take ownership of our work, and move quickly to serve our clients. We work from a bright and friendly office and strongly value work/life balance. We are looking for an experienced, creative, and fun individual to join me and my wonderful team of four – Abby, Vanessa, Rick, and Kimberly. If this gets your heart racing with excitement, keep reading and I hope we can meet soon.
