We are looking for a highly organized, detail-driven Apparel Graphic Designer, internally aligned to Line Art Support, who can combine strong Adobe Illustrator skills with practical production awareness.

The right person understands how artwork carries across garment and sticker applications, can preserve the character of an established series, and enjoys jumping between revisions, art packs, custom requests, and deadline-driven priorities. This is an onsite position at our headquarters in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.

• Ability to learn and consistently apply EMI-TGT artwork standards, file conventions, brand-specific elements, and internal design workflows
• Strong attention to detail when reviewing series consistency, colors, placements, namedrops, linked or embedded assets, and customer specifications
• Ability to work well within a team and coordinate across Line Development, Art Pack, Licensing, Production Art, and other departments
• Ability to manage multiple projects, shifting priorities, revisions, and due dates in a fast-paced creative environment
• Problem-solving aptitude, sound judgment, and willingness to ask questions rather than make assumptions about branch-specific artwork

• Leverage AI tools where appropriate to support artwork development
