ABOUT THE POSITION
You do not need years of professional experience or a graphic-design degree. We are looking for someone who has a basic understanding of graphic design and art files, along with some type of T-shirt-making experience.
Your experience could come from working at a print shop, making shirts at home, using a Cricut or heat press, creating DTF transfers, screen printing, DTG printing, sublimation, vinyl or a similar process. Training on our specific equipment and workflow will be provided.

WORK ENVIRONMENT
This is important to understand before applying: you will spend most of your shift working independently in a production room, making apparel and completing orders.
Although other employees may be in the building, this is not a highly social or team-based position throughout the day. A large part of the job involves focused, repetitive, hands-on production work.
This position could be a great fit if you enjoy working independently, listening to music or podcasts and getting into a steady production routine. If you prefer constant conversation, frequent activity or working directly beside other people all day, this position may not be the best fit for you.
