What are the responsibilities and job description for the Production Designer position at EP Headcovers?
About EP Headcovers and SWAG Golf
EP Headcovers started in 2013 in a 10x10 room in a basement with one person, a small sewing machine, and a small nudge from someone highly respected in the golf industry. Fast forward a few years, and EP was acquired by SWAG Golf, a disrupter in the golf world known for its bold, innovative designs and highly coveted, limited-release products. From headcovers and ball markers, to putters and accessories, our drops sell out in record time and are passionately collected by an engaged, global community. Since launching with a single headcover in 2016, SWAG has become a cultural phenomenon at the intersection of golf, art, and lifestyle.
