**About Sculpted Peaks**

Sculpted Peaks creates hand-carved stone sculptures of iconic mountains, made by artisans in Bali and shipped worldwide. We are a small, design-focused ecommerce brand with a premium product and a growing catalog. As we expand our mountain lineup, we need a detail-obsessed visual researcher and designer who can help us find, source, and prepare the reference imagery that drives every new sculpture from concept to launch.

---

**Role Overview**

The Research & Design Assistant supports the visual pipeline for new sculptures. You will research mountains and identify ideal viewpoints using online tools, source and license reference photography from stock platforms, and use Photoshop, Lightroom, and AI image generation tools to prepare design mock-ups and product variant images for the website.

You will work directly with our in-house graphic designer and our Ecommerce Merchandising Coordinator, integrating into existing workflows for new product development and page preparation.
