Mid-Weight Graphic Designer

At Piglet in Bed, we're on a mission to become the home of long-lasting, natural comfort. Dreamt up in 2017 from our Founder Jess’ Mother’s garden shed in West Sussex, Piglet in Bed began with a simple idea: the best homes aren’t perfect, they’re personal. What started as a small collection of linen bedding has grown to include new fabrics and unmistakably ‘Piglet’ designs, complemented by our curated selection of sleepwear and homewares. But one thing hasn’t changed: our focus on the incredible team who make Piglet happen. As our team grows, we still like to keep the calendar full of socials, competitions, and chances to see each other. Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do, so we're very excited that you're considering joining us!
