Your Role: As our Senior Surface Pattern & Print Designer, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to shape the look of our collections, bringing fresh, trend-forward patterns, prints and illustrations to life across our full home, gift and stationery assortment. Working hand-in-hand with our Creative Director and Art Directors, you’ll take on our most exciting projects, help set the creative direction for key accounts, and mentor a team of talented designers along the way.

  • Delivers production-ready files, with repeats, resolution, color and embellishment layers (foil, emboss, glitter) accounted for.
  • Maintains in-depth knowledge of assigned accounts, programs and buyers.
  • Provides art direction and creates line plans, mood boards and presentations for account programs, as training toward the Lead level.
  • Reviews production job packets before sign-off for assigned accounts.
  • Mentors the design team by giving feedback and art direction in CD/AD/Lead absence and serving as a first point of contact for questions.
  • Collaborates with Sales, Product Development and Production, and sets the standard for artwork quality and file organization.
  • In a vibrant, fast-paced environment, the possibilities for your creative expression are endless at Punch Studio!

  • A BFA or BA in Surface/Textile Design, Illustration, Fine Arts or a related field, or equivalent experience.

  • Strong illustration and traditional painting skills, with the ability to turn hand-painted work into production-ready files in Adobe Creative Suite on Mac.
