We're looking for a talented Freelance Craft Designer, Maker & Content Creator to join the Craftiosity team and help us create our monthly craft kits.
About Craftiosity
Craftiosity is a UK monthly craft subscription box helping people discover new creative hobbies through thoughtfully designed craft kits delivered straight to their door.
Every box contains the tools and materials needed to complete a beautiful handmade project, alongside clear step-by-step instructions and an accompanying video tutorial.
We're passionate about making creativity accessible and encouraging people to try something new every month. Now, we're looking for someone who can help us bring even more brilliant craft ideas to life.
About the role
This is an ongoing freelance opportunity where you'll design and deliver one brand-new craft kit project each month.
