Apparel Graphic Designer - Punk / Streetwear Prints + Tech Packs

We are a new French punk / streetwear clothing brand. We are looking for a graphic designer who can (1) create original print artwork for t-shirts and hoodies, and (2) turn those designs into factory-ready tech packs.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design original print artwork for tees and hoodies: punk, hardcore, DIY zine, collage, distressed type, screen-print aesthetics
• Deliver clean, print-ready files (correct sizing, color separations, placement)
• Produce tech packs for our manufacturer: flat sketches (front/back), measurement charts, print placement and dimensions, colorways, Pantone/TPX references, fabric and trim BOM, labels and tags
• Create simple product mockups for the shop and social media
• Occasional branding work: logo variations, woven labels, hangtags, packaging

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• Strong Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• Real experience building apparel tech packs (files go straight to a factory, they must be usable as-is)
• A portfolio with graphic tees / streetwear, not only generic logo work
• Understanding of screen printing constraints (max colors, halftones, ink types, print area)
• Good written English, reliable, fast on revisions

NICE TO HAVE

• CLO3D or Browzwear
• DTG and all-over-print experience
• Knowledge of punk / hardcore / metal visual culture

THE DEAL

• Freelance / gig work, paid per project or per hour ($3 - $5 / hour depending on experience)
• We start with one small paid test design, then ongoing work if it clicks
• Long-term potential: we release small drops regularly

HOW TO APPLY
Start your message with the words SAFETY PIN so I know you actually read this.
Then send me:
1. A link to your portfolio (Behance, Google Drive, PDF, anything I can open)
2. ONE example of a tech pack you have made (blur client names if needed)
3. Your rate and how many hours per week you are available
4. One sentence: the last band t-shirt design you liked, and why

Applications without a portfolio link will not be reviewed. Thanks!
