Graphic Designer – Product Labels & Packaging

Espyre LLC (brand: Oh Yuk) is a fast-growing Amazon brand specializing in home appliances, household cleaning, automotive, spa/hot tub, marine, and kids products. We're looking for a talented Graphic Designer with strong experience in product label and packaging design to help us create standout, print-perfect labels that pop on Amazon listings and look premium in customers' hands.

This is a freelance/part-time hybrid role based in Oakdale, MN. Most work can be done remotely, with in-person office time reserved for strategic meetings and new product launches—a few times per month. You must be able to commute to our Oakdale office for these occasional meetings. We offer ongoing projects, multiple SKUs, and frequent launches—ideal for someone who thrives in a high-paced environment, loves seeing their designs on real products, and is motivated to join a growing, collaborative team that values thoughtful ideas, encourages ownership, and works together to build a strong, consistent brand.

Compensation: $35–45/hour (commensurate with experience)

Core Experience & Skills

• Proven track record designing standout product labels and packaging that excel both on Amazon listings (digital) and as physical printed products
• Expertise creating attention-grabbing, category-differentiating labels for diverse products, including home appliances, household cleaning, automotive, spa/hot tub, marine, kids products, and more
• Strong understanding of color theory and palette development for product labels, with the ability to make intentional, high-contrast color choices that improve on-screen clarity, consistency, and brand recognition for Oh Yuk

Creative Approach

• Fresh, innovative mindset—brings original ideas rather than relying solely on templates
• Strong ability to translate verbal or high-level direction into compelling visual designs
• Ability to design labels and graphics with a mobile-first mindset, ensuring text hierarchy, icons, and color contrast remain clear at small thumbnail sizes on Amazon

Technical Proficiency

• Advanced Adobe Illustrator skills (or equivalent vector tools)
• Delivers clean, logically layered, and fully editable source files
• Deep knowledge of print production: bleeds, dielines, CMYK/spot colors, metallics, white ink, and accurate digital-to-print color translation
• Consistently provides true print-ready files requiring minimal printer revisions

Design Priorities

• Focuses on real-world impact: clarity, high contrast, readability at small sizes, and strong Amazon shelf differentiation
• Meticulous attention to detail in spacing, hierarchy, icons, and overall consistency
• Experience handling multiple SKUs and variants (sizes, scents, barcodes, etc.)

Workflow & Collaboration

• Thinks through the full process—from concept to final printed product
• Collaborates closely with the head of marketing and product development to align on vision and direction
• Delivers fast, accurate revisions and thrives under tight production timelines
• Communicates clearly, responds promptly, and reliably follows through from concept to print approval
• Deadline-driven and able to move quickly when products are heading to print

If you're a detail-oriented designer with a passion for print-ready product labels, can deliver high-quality work on tight deadlines, and are able to occasionally commute to Oakdale, MN—we'd love to see your portfolio!

Looking forward to working together!
