Role Overview

We are seeking a fast, versatile, and tech-forward Digital Artist - Wall Art to join our creative development team. As a home décor brand specializing in high-volume wall art for major off-price and mass-market retail chains, we create retail-ready artwork that aligns with current interior design trends.

In this seat, you will combine strong traditional art fundamentals with advanced digital execution and cutting-edge generative AI workflows (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E). Producing a consistent target of 400+ finished, high-resolution, print-ready images per month, you will translate creative briefs, mood boards, and trend research into coordinated art collections across diverse categories—ranging from abstract and botanical to landscape, coastal, and figurative styles.

• High-Volume Production & Multi-Category Design
• Retail-Ready Asset Generation: Produce 400+ polished, retail-ready images per month across multiple art categories (Abstract, Botanical, Floral, Figurative, Landscape, Coastal, Animal, Fashion/Glam, Typography, and Vintage-inspired).
• Collection Coordination: Translate trend research, color palettes, and creative direction into cohesive art sets, pairs, and multi-piece series.
• Format & Colorway Adaptation: Adapt, scale, and recolor existing designs across different dimensions, orientations, and colorways tailored for specific retail buyers and price points.
• AI-Assisted Artistry & Digital Hybrid Workflows
• Advanced AI Prompting: Utilize generative AI platforms (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion, Leonardo, DALL-E) to rapidly explore concepts, maintaining stylistic consistency across multi-image series.
• Hybrid Digital Painting & Finishing: Combine AI-generated outputs with traditional drawing, digital painting, texture application, and photo manipulation in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator so final assets look hand-crafted, original, and refined.
• Upscaling & Image Enhancement: Perform AI upscaling, object removal, retouches, and file cleanup to ensure flawless image fidelity at large-format print sizes.
• Ethical AI Practice: Ensure all generated work complies with copyright guidelines—avoiding protected characters, trademarked brands, or living artists' signature styles.
• Print Prep, Workflow Management & Handoff
• Prepress & Print Prep: Prepare high-resolution, print-ready files (CMYK/RGB, precise color modes, DPI parameters, bleed) to exact manufacturing specifications.
• Project Tracking & Delivery: Organize, name, and archive files systematically in Google Drive while updating task assignments real-time in Wrike.
• Feedback Iteration: Incorporate creative direction and feedback quickly to meet tight production deadlines.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Professional Experience: 3+ years as a digital artist, illustrator, or surface pattern designer (direct experience in home décor, wall art, or commercial consumer products strongly preferred).
• AI Image Generation Mastery: Hands-on professional experience using Midjourney or equivalent AI image platforms, with demonstrated ability to blend AI outputs with digital painting and manual touch-ups.
• Traditional Art Fundamentals: Strong foundation in color theory, composition, drawing, lighting, texture layering, and visual balance.
• Software Proficiency: Expert knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Print Production Standards (Procreate and Illustrator proficiency is a strong plus).
• Production Speed & Volume: Proven ability to sustain high-volume output (400+ finished files monthly) without sacrificing aesthetic quality.
• Multi-Category Breadth: Diverse portfolio demonstrating mastery across at least 5 distinct art categories (e.g., abstract, botanical, figurative, landscape, coastal).
• Schedule Alignment & Communication: Fluent English communication with dedicated daily availability during US Eastern Time business hours (9:00 AM - 6:00 PM ET).

Success Metrics (KPIs)

• Monthly Output Target: Consistently delivering 400+ approved, high-resolution, print-ready images per month on schedule.
• Prepress File Precision: 100% adherence to company print specs, resolution rules, and naming conventions with zero file handoff errors.
• Design Versatility & Style Consistency: Achieving high buyer acceptance rates across multi-piece collections and diverse art categories.
