What You'll Do 

As a Graphic Designer & Production Artist, you'll be at the heart of the creative process—transforming concepts, sketches, and ideas into polished vector artwork, product designs, packaging, and marketing materials. Working alongside our Creative Director and talented design team, you'll ensure every detail is production-ready while maintaining the creativity and personality that make Spellbinders products special.

• Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute creative ideas that support our brand and product goals. 
• Ensure all artwork meets production specifications while maintaining exceptional quality and accuracy. 
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced creative environment. 
• Stay current with design trends, illustration styles, and production techniques. 

What You Bring 

We're looking for someone who enjoys both creativity and precision—someone who loves making artwork look amazing while ensuring every file is technically flawless. 

Technical Skills 

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially Adobe Illustrator. 
• Strong vector illustration and production art skills. 
• Ability to adapt to a variety of artistic styles, including modern, vintage, whimsical, cute, elegant, and traditional. 
• Solid understanding of typography, color theory, composition, and visual hierarchy. 
• Experience preparing print-ready artwork and digital assets. 
• Familiarity with project management platforms such as Basecamp. 

What Makes You a Great Fit 

• Exceptional attention to detail—you notice the little things that make a big difference. 
• Highly organized with the ability to juggle multiple projects and priorities. 
• A collaborative team player who enjoys sharing ideas and receiving feedback. 
• Curious, proactive, and always eager to learn new techniques and tools. 
• Passionate about design and excited to help create products that inspire creativity around the world. 
• Interest in papercrafting, DIY, or creative hobbies is a big plus (or a genuine enthusiasm to learn!). 

If you're excited by beautiful design, love solving creative challenges, and take pride in producing exceptional work, we'd love to hear from you!
