Do you want a creative outlet balanced with structure and simplicity to make a beautiful and impactful footprint on the city around you?

Do you have great respect for brand standards and take pride in craftsmanship and excellence?

We are looking for a Graphic Designer/Production Specialist who possesses the maturity, passion, energy, and experience in the sign business to collaborate with others on the team.

As a Graphic Designer/Production Specialist, your primary responsibility will be to create, scale, and modify computer-generated full-color graphics and output vinyl that can be weeded, cut, and applied, or printed and mounted to various products from cars to substrates to buildings. Your job will involve various levels of artistic creativity and you may interact with customers to ensure complete satisfaction with the final product. Additional responsibilities include ripping final art files for printing or cutting, and processing a strong knowledge of working with Raster and Vector files, and other flat-file graphics formats to create, edit, resize and scale, and finalize layer images are essential skills.
