Framebridge has reimagined the custom framing experience to deliver beautiful, convenient custom framing for a modern lifestyle. We’ve eliminated the hassle and expense of traditional framing with our digitally-native online experience, convenient retail locations, and centralized manufacturing studios. We make it easy and fun to custom frame the things you love, and we’ve proudly framed over 2.5 million pieces and counting. To fulfill our mission, we have to build a great team across a number of disciplines – ecommerce, retail, design and manufacturing. We are a consumer business operating online and in our over 40 retail stores – and growing. We operate multiple manufacturing facilities in Richmond, KY, Stanton KY, Winchester, VA and our newest location in Henderson, NV, that allow us to deliver a high-quality custom product at an affordable price with a quick turnaround. We exist, grow, and ultimately own the market by delighting customers who trust and value us.

As an Art Tech you will play a crucial role in the custom framing process.
