Requirements What We're Looking For
- Professional Graphic Design experience with a strong focus on physical consumer products
- Previous experience within CPG, stationery, gifting, paper goods, lifestyle products, or a similar retail product category
- A portfolio demonstrating finished physical products, not solely digital or marketing work
- Exceptional typography skills
- Strong illustration capabilities
- Strong understanding of pattern and surface design
- Experience creating products designed for mass-market or national retail
- Ability to balance strong creative instincts with commercial and consumer trends
- Ability to work independently in a contract environment and manage multiple creative projects

required for consideration.
