    Production Hand-off: Coordinate with print, embroidery, and sign technicians to ensure artwork meets physical production constraints.

    Qualifications

    Design Portfolio: Proven experience in graphic design (proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or CorelDRAW is required).

    Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with vector artwork setup for screen printing, embroidery, vinyl, or laser engraving is highly preferred.

    Customer-First Mindset: Prior experience in retail, customer service, or front-desk management.

    Math & Detail Oriented: Comfort with basic math to calculate material costs, margins, and final client quotes.

    Multitasking Ability: Capable of switching gears seamlessly from designing a logo to greeting a customer at the door.
