Lead Brand Designer

ABOUT DSC :

In 2011, Dollar Shave Club didn't just shake up the shaving aisle-we reinvented it. A viral video put us on the map, and our direct-to-consumer model challenged an entire industry by making great razors accessible, affordable, and actually fun to buy.

Since then, we've grown far beyond blades. From grooming to personal care, we've built a lineup of quality essentials designed to make life easier (and smoother), whether you find us online or in stores near you.

Today, DSC is expanding into new categories and new markets, but our DNA hasn't changed. We're still here to cut the BS, deliver real value, and bring a little humor to the everyday routine.

So what are you waiting for? Join the Club.
