We are looking for a talented Illustrator who has a demonstrated background in surface illustration and design for consumer products.

The job entails creating original artwork for a variety of seasons and holidays, for a range of consumer ages from Baby to Adult, which you will then apply to our various paper products.

The ideal candidate will have a trend-driven sensibility that is still warm and appealing to a mass market customer. We are looking for someone with experience not only in creating artwork, but also applying it to various product types, which may also involve creating repeat patterns. Graphic design and layout are key skills used in this position, and typography skills are a definite plus.
