About the role

Graphic Production Designer | Full-Time I Hybrid
Salary: 60-70kLocation: Portland, ORAbout UsWe're a small, collaborative design studio creating work across brand identity, retail, environmental graphics, and production design. We're looking for a Graphic Production Designer who brings both creative taste and operational rigor — someone who can make beautiful work and keep the behind-the-scenes process running smoothly. In this role, you'll be the bridge between concept and final production. Day to day you'll balance design work with technical and organizational tasks that keep projects moving from idea to install.
What You'll Do:
  • Asset + File Management
  • Create, organize, and maintain visual assets across multiple projects
  • Build structured, easy-to-navigate workflows for both design and production teams
  • Design & Production Support
  • Partner closely with design and production teams to ensure consistency from concept to final deliverable
  • Translate creative direction into clear, detailed production mechanicals
  • Presentation + Storytelling
  • Build polished presentation decks in Figma that communicate concepts and production specs
  • Maintain and manage graphic decks across multiple active projects
  • Mechanicals + Specifications
  • Develop mechanical files based on approved designs and production requirements
  • Prepare documentation for print production including material specs and sampling notes
  • Ensure files are production-ready: color management, resolution, bleeds, crop marks, dielines
  • Workflow + Project Coordination
  • Track the lifecycle of creative and production tasks from kickoff to delivery
  • Help build and refine handoff processes between creative and production
  • Juggle multiple projects at once with strong time management and attention to detail
  • What You Bring2–4 years of experience in graphic design and/or production design
  • Proficient in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite: Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and file hygiene
  • Collaborative mindset — confident making design calls and supporting the team
  • Understanding of print production processes and materials
  • Experience creating clear, client-facing presentations
  • Bonus Skills
  • Experience with environmental graphics, retail, or experiential projects
  • Interest in material exploration, sampling, and fabrication
  • Background working in small, fast-moving creative teams
What We Offer:
  • A collaborative studio environment where both design and process are valued
  • Health benefits
  • Paid vacation + 40 hours of sick time per year
  • Paid holidays
  • Training and professional development support
  • Flexible hybrid work options
  • Work Environment
This is a fast-paced studio with shifting priorities. The role involves intensive computer work. Occasional overtime may be required to meet project deadlines.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
