Remote | 38 hours per week | USD 800 per month for the first three months, then USD 1,000 per month
We are looking for a graphic designer whose strongest work is T-shirt graphics. About 70% of the role is design and about 30% is preparing and uploading approved products.
This is mainly a hands-on design role. It is not a social media, advertising, web, or UI design position.
-----------------------------
WHAT YOU WILL DESIGN
- Original T-shirt graphics for specific niches and audiences
- Typography-led, illustrated, and mixed-style concepts
- Variations of approved ideas for different products or customers
- Print-ready files, mockups, and listing images
- Related graphics for products such as can coolers, banners, blankets, and other printed or personalised items
You will research ideas, interpret briefs, develop concepts, make revisions, organise files, and check your work before delivery.
Affinity Designer 2 is our main production tool. Canva, Kittl, Photoshop, and other appropriate tools may also be used. Photoshop Smart Object experience is useful for mockups.
-----------------------------
PRODUCT UPLOADING
About 30% of the role involves preparing approved designs for sale. This includes:
- Applying approved designs to product templates
- Preparing mockups and listing images
- Uploading product files and information
- Following naming, folder, and listing processes
- Checking products and listings for mistakes
Previous print-on-demand, ecommerce, or uploading experience is useful, but it is not required. We can teach our systems. Strong T-shirt design ability is the main requirement.
-----------------------------
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- A portfolio with strong T-shirt graphics or closely related apparel work
- Good typography, illustration, composition, colour, and audience awareness
- Original ideas that fit a clear niche rather than generic decoration
- The ability to explain design choices and personal contribution
- Care with production files, organisation, and quality checks
- Reliable communication and thoughtful revisions from feedback
- An interest in improving your craft and learning our processes
Commercial print-on-demand experience is not required. Personal, freelance, client, or self-initiated T-shirt projects are all useful if they show your actual skill.
-----------------------------
AI USE
Generative AI is allowed when it is used intentionally. Tell us about any meaningful AI use in the work you submit. You should be able to explain why you used it, what it contributed, what you changed yourself, and why the final result suits the brief.
You remain responsible for originality, licensing, accuracy, and production quality. We are looking for designers who use their own judgment rather than relying on AI to make every decision.
-----------------------------
HOURS AND PAY
- Full-time, 38 hours per week, Monday to Friday
- During initial training and onboarding, you should generally be available from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Adelaide time
- After onboarding, you may choose your hours if you communicate reliably, attend agreed meetings, and complete your responsibilities
- First three months: USD 800 per month
- After a successful three-month mutual review: USD 1,000 per month
This is an independent-contractor arrangement paid monthly. It does not include paid leave or employee benefits.
-----------------------------
HOW TO APPLY
Please send:
1. Your resume
2. A link to your portfolio
3. Four to six of your strongest T-shirt designs
4. A video introducing yourself
If your main portfolio is broad, link directly to the T-shirt or apparel work you want us to review. The examples do not need to come from paid print-on-demand work. Please state what you personally created in any collaborative work.
Aim for no longer than 8 minutes for the video. It does not need professional editing. Please cover:
- Your design experience
- One T-shirt or apparel project and your personal contribution
- The audience or niche for that design and how you developed the idea
- Your usual workflow from receiving a brief through design, feedback, file organisation, and delivery
- Something you have deliberately learned or improved recently
- Why this work interests you
- Your availability
- Any hobbies or interests you wish to share
In the video, please screen share a past project, tools, layers, or file structure so we can visually see what you are talking about.
Please identify any submitted work that used generative AI and briefly explain how it contributed.
Selected applicants will attend an online interview and project walkthrough. A small number of finalists will then complete the same paid, time-boxed T-shirt design task and one revision after feedback.
We are looking to hire as soon as we find the right person.
