Naomi Dacosta — Technical Recruiter
Design studios don’t fall apart because of bad ideas. They fall apart because of bad hires. You know it. I know it. The wrong hire doesn't just mess up a project, they drain energy, slow down momentum and create a ripple effect that hits deadlines, team morale and your sanity. You want a team that: Gets it. The brief, the brand, the vibe, without needing a babysitter. Delivers work that makes you say, “Whoa, who did this?” Sticks around long enough to actually matter (no more hiring deja vu six months later) But right now? You’re stuck. Stuck with the same “meh” candidates, the same portfolios, the same ideas, the same “I’m passionate about design / production” cover letters. Stuck second-guessing every hire because the last “perfect fit” wasn’t. Stuck in the same old hiring loop that eats up your time like a bottomless brunch - except it’s not fun and nobody’s bringing mimosas. That’s why I do things differently. I’m Naomi, founder of NDC Creative, and here’s the thing: I don’t just “find designers & producers”. I find the people who’ll make your team stronger. The ones who walk in and immediately get it. The ones who make you wonder how you ever managed without them. I’ve been doing this for nearly two decades - which is long enough to know that creative recruitment isn’t about keywords, job boards or crossing fingers. It’s about instinct, connections and genuinely understanding the design world from the inside out. I partner with brands and studios that want more than warm bodies in seats. You get: No square pegs for round holes. Just people who fit, without forcing it. No time-wasters. I only share people worth meeting No fluff. Just straight-talking, strategic recruitment that works If you’re tired of sifting through the same old, same old - Let’s talk. I’ll bring the talent. You bring the brief. Let’s do this. naomi@ndc-creative.com / 07917 344407 www.ndc-creative.com
