Job Description

Where else is a polo basically a blank canvas for you to design?!

If you geek out over hand drawn patterns, micro-prints, and turning brand stories into wearable art, this position was built for you. This is an exciting role to further deliver creativity and story-telling designs to the hundreds of businesses and brands wearing Custom Supply Group apparel!

Summary

Custom Supply Group is the go-to partner for organizations, businesses, and brands who are ready to tell their story through uniquely designed apparel! Every project is built from the ground up for that specific partner and includes never before seen designs made by our team! As we grow, we’re looking for a Print Designer to take full ownership of our apparel design engine and lead the creative approach we hold dearly.

What you'll own (core responsibilities)

• Own all apparel print and mockup creation for CSG projects (from first concept to production-ready files).
• Turn partner brand assets and loose inspo into tight, on-brand print concepts and garment mockups.
• Create partner-facing pitch decks that showcase all mockups for each project.
• Continuously improve and refine design system, file organization, and overall design process.
• Design supporting marketing materials (social graphics, web assets, case-study visuals, email graphics, event and trade show materials, etc.).
• Collaborate closely with operations and production on R&D for new product lines, fabrics, and print applications.
• Stay ahead of trends in apparel, color, and print so our partners’ gear feels fresh, not generic.

Support

You’ll be the key creative partner across the business, supporting as needed in the following areas as well:

• Sales pitches & proposals – building visually compelling pitch decks and mockups that help us win new partners.
• Case studies & partner spotlights – designing visuals that tell the story behind standout projects.
• Campaigns & launches – designing graphics for email, social, and website to show off new collections and collaborations.
• Events & tradeshows – creating booth visuals, handouts, and apparel concepts that turn heads.
• Internal brand evolution – helping shape the CSG visual language as we grow (patterns, iconography, layout systems, etc.).
• New product development - we love releasing new items! Help us make them!

What we're looking for (Requirements)

Skills & Experience

• 2+ years of professional design experience (freelance or in-house) with a strong focus on print or apparel.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.)
• Skilled in icon creation using drawing pad (or equivalent method)
• Comfort building repeating patterns, working with vector art, and preparing files for production (print, embroidery, DTF, etc.).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and version control across many partner projects.
• Self starter mentality and work ethic
• High level of creativity and ability to interpret incomplete direction (“here’s our logo and a mood board”) into polished concepts and present clear options.

Nice to haves

• Experience designing for apparel brands, merch, sports, or lifestyle products.
• Familiarity with digital drawing tools
• Experience creating decks/presentations (Keynote, PowerPoint, or Figma).

Growth Track

This isn’t a “forever junior” role. The right hire will grow into  Senior Print Designer and ultimately  Director of Print Design & Product Line , helping shape our core apparel collections and leading future design hires.

If you’re excited by the idea of creating apparel designs from scratch (and not just slapping logos on the chest), we’d love to see your work!

👉  Apply with your portfolio, a brief intro, and a few of your favorite apparel projects.
