Deseret Book is a mission‑driven company, committed to being a trusted gathering place for thoughtful expressions of faith. Established in 1866, today we create and curate stories worth telling, questions worth exploring, and beauty worth sharing to improve the lives of individuals and families in every step of their faith journey.

In our work culture, we put people first. Our team members are dedicated to meeting the needs of our communities as we work together, creating an environment where collaboration is critical and personal accountability is expected. If you are passionate about helping people find inspiration and help for their lives, and working with colleagues who want to do the same, then Deseret Book Company is the place for you.

As a Graphic Designer on our in‑house Creative Team, you’ll shape how customers experience Deseret Book across every channel—print and digital, in‑store and online. Your work will span catalogs, email and social campaigns, website and e‑commerce graphics, paid and out‑of‑home media, in‑store signage, window displays, and more. Beyond execution, you’ll participate in brainstorming and concepting sessions that inform design decisions across the organization’s marketing efforts, contributing to brand and campaign development from the ground up.

You’ll collaborate closely with our Project Manager, Senior Graphic Designer, Marketing Art Director, and Creative Director—learning from experienced mentors while bringing your own creative perspective to the table. This role offers the rare chance to work across a wide variety of mediums within one team, making it an ideal opportunity for a designer looking to broaden their skills and build a meaningful creative career.
