Qualifications
- Required — Experience
1–3 years of graphic design experience focused on print, packaging, or pre-press for consumer brands. Strong portfolio demonstrating production-ready files (not just concept work) — at least one project where you handled the full hand-off to a printer or factory.
- Required — Tools & Print Knowledge
Proficient in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign (heavy use), Photoshop (including actions, batch processing, and variable-data templates), and Acrobat Pro pre-flight. Working knowledge of CMYK color management, bleed/trim/safe zones, paper stocks, and standard finishing options (foil, spot UV, emboss, die-cut). Working English proficiency for reading briefs and async communication with the Boston team.
- Strong Plus — Sentiment Cards, Automation & AI Tools
Direct experience designing greeting cards, sentiment-driven product lines, or e-commerce PDP gallery assets at scale. Hands-on with Photoshop automation (scripting, variable-data templates) and AI design tools (Magnific, Adobe Firefly, Midjourney). Prior work with US/Western consumer brands is a plus.
