Art Director

Join a high-performing team for an NYC-based custom apparel company

This is Crishel, the Creative Director at Fresh Prints.

I joined Fresh Prints right after college as an Artist. The job was intense. I was creating 16 designs from prompts… Every. Single. Day.

I could do it if you asked me to. But more than that, I wanted to understand how creativity could drive impact. I wanted to see how ideas moved beyond a design file and shaped how people experience a brand.

When I moved to the Growth Team, everything changed. It wasn’t just about making things look good anymore. It was about thinking like a marketer, contributing to strategy, and understanding how creative work connects to the business.

The turning point came when my manager, Jolijt, said: “Okay Crishel, you’re in charge.” After multiple attempts to find the right Creative Director, she decided to take a chance on me. That shift forced me to rethink everything. I had to unlearn habits as a graphic designer and start thinking about vision, systems, and people.

Today, creative work means more than aesthetics to me. It’s about how design serves the brand, how it makes people feel, and how it creates real value.

Now, we’re looking for creatives who want to do more than execute designs. People who want to think bigger, collaborate deeply, and help build how creative work scales at Fresh Prints.

If this sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you!

Art Director

We're looking for an Art Director who's hungry to own the visual identity of one of the fastest-growing brands in the US collegiate space. You'll be the creative authority on what Fresh Prints looks like — from brand campaigns to pitch decks to product launches — and you'll work directly with our Creative Director to make sure every asset tells a consistent, compelling story.

This role isn't for someone who executes on what they're told. It's for someone with a real point of view, the visual chops to back it up, and great taste.

What You'll Own

Brand Identity & System

Lead the development and stewardship of the Fresh Prints brand system - color, typography, photography direction, iconography, and visual language
Ensure every asset, from a paid ad to a sales deck, is undeniably Fresh Prints
Build and maintain brand guidelines our team actually uses
Partner with the Creative Director to evolve the brand system as Fresh Prints grows

Creative Production

Lead art direction on brand campaigns, product launches, and marketing collateral
Art direct and brief photographers, videographers, and freelance designers
Produce high-quality assets fast — from quick social graphics to polished campaigns
Maintain a quality bar that makes everything feel crafted, not thrown together

Creative Standards & Collaboration

Set and uphold the visual bar for everything that leaves the Creative team
Give specific, actionable creative feedback that improves the work without demoralizing the people making it
Collaborate closely with our Creative Director, Brand, and Marketing teams to ensure visual work serves the business
Represent the brand visually in cross-functional projects

Who You Are

You have a strong opinion about what looks good and you can defend it clearly without being precious about it
You have strong design fundamentals. You understand type, hierarchy, color, and layout at a level beyond personal taste
You understand, respect, and love the customers — you know that your job is to design for them, not design in general.
You think in systems, not just one-offs. Beautiful individual assets that don't cohere into a brand aren't good enough
You give feedback that makes people's work better, not just your vision real
You're fast. You know the difference between "good enough to move" and "not good enough," and you move accordingly
You've actually been responsible for a brand's visual identity before, not just individual executions inside one

Requirements

4 to 6 years of design or art direction experience, including meaningful time spent in-house at a brand (not only at agencies)
Experience owning a corporate or consumer brand identity end-to-end
Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
Figma fluency for collaborative design and handoff
Strong typography, layout, and photography direction instincts
A portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual range and executional consistency
Experience briefing and directing external creative vendors and freelancers
Comfort working directly with senior leadership on high-stakes work

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a talent pool. We will reach out to you if we find a suitable match to move forward in the recruitment process.

Job Location: Work From Home / Remote

Working Hours: 4:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST (US Timings), Monday to Friday

Monthly Salary: Competitive salary, depending on experience

At Fresh Prints, we deeply value the long-term contributions of our team. To recognize and celebrate that commitment, we offer a 2-month paid Sabbatical to eligible employees.

Fresh Prints never charges any money during the hiring process. If you’re asked to pay for a job, it’s not real.

Fresh Prints is an equal employment opportunity employer and promotes diversity; actively encouraging people of all backgrounds, ages, LGBTQ+, and those with disabilities to apply.
