About Us
Hang Loose Bands designs and sells elastic surf bracelets featuring bold, repeating graphic patterns. We're looking for a talented graphic designer to join our small, creative team and help us keep our designs fresh, fun, and production-ready.
What You'll Do
Design original, seamless repeating patterns in ½" (half-inch) strip format — tropical, surf, beach, fishing, and lifestyle themes (palm trees, waves, florals, sunsets, hibiscus, fish/tackle, etc.)
Set up each design with accurate cut lines and bleed marks so our factory can produce them without errors
Export final files as print-ready .EPS vector files for our manufacturing partner in China
Take feedback from the team and revise designs quickly
Occasionally research trending patterns/colorways in the surf, beach, and fashion accessory space for inspiration
Maintain an organized file library of finished and in-progress designs
Requirements
Strong portfolio showing repeating/seamless pattern design (textile, washi tape, ribbon, or similar strip-format work is a huge plus)
Proficient in Adobe Illustrator (required); comfortable working with vector files, artboards, and precise measurements
Understanding of print production basics: cut lines, bleed, color modes (CMYK), and file prep for manufacturing
Strong sense of color, composition, and current design trends (surf/beach/tropical aesthetic)
Able to work independently, meet deadlines, and take direction well
Good communication in English (written)
Nice to Have
Experience designing for licensed manufacturing/overseas factories
Experience with fashion accessories, apparel, or textile pattern design
Familiarity with EPS file specs for vector-based manufacturing
