[Hiring] Apparel Graphic Designer @Lakeshirts

Role Description

Blue 84 Resort creates apparel and artwork inspired by the places people love to visit, remember, and call home. We are looking for a highly creative Apparel Graphic Designer, internally known as a Line Artist, to develop original, trend-forward artwork for the Blue 84 Resort business.

• This is not a role focused on one decoration technique.
• Our Line Artists create artwork across screenprint, embroidery, sublimation, offshore, import programs, and specialty appliques.
• Artists need to understand how color, detail, typography, scale, placement, garment choice, materials, and production method affect what can successfully make it from the screen to the finished product.
• You will create destination-driven artwork, build cohesive collections, adapt concepts across products and decoration techniques, work within real production requirements, and collaborate with teammates.

Qualifications

• Four or more years of graphic design experience in apparel, resort, tourism, outdoor, lifestyle, or a related field preferred.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop required.
• Experience designing across multiple decorated-apparel processes such as screenprint, embroidery, and sublimation strongly preferred.
• Strong typography, illustration, composition, color theory, and visual storytelling abilities.
• Clear communication skills, openness to feedback, and a collaborative, team-first mindset.
• Curious, adaptable, self-motivated, and excited to continually learn new decoration processes and product capabilities.

Requirements

• Understand how artwork must change based on production requirements such as ink, stitch count, line weight, detail, opacity, garment color, placement, scale, fabric, and decoration method.
• Manage multiple projects, revisions, customer requests, and deadlines while maintaining creativity and attention to detail.
• Comfortable designing within production parameters without allowing those limitations to limit creativity.
• Excellent organization with the ability to manage multiple creative assignments, revisions, and deadlines simultaneously.

Benefits

• Exempt employees begin accruing PTO immediately and are eligible for holiday pay from the start date.
• Health, dental, vision, life coverage, and 401(k) participation begin the first of the month after 60 days.
• Company 401(k) match eligibility begins after 12 months.
• Profit sharing based on company performance.
• Merchandise discounts, an Employee Assistance Program, employee events and recognition, referral incentives, and a proudly dog-friendly workplace.
