Brand Merchandise Graphic Designer

Brand & Merchandise Graphic Designer

What-A-Treat Heating & Cooling is a fun, ice-cream-themed home comfort brand launching in Houston, Texas in January 2027. We have a bold brand, a mascot, and a long list of things to design. We need a talented designer to bring it all to life.

What you'll design

• Team apparel: polos, quarter-zips, hoodies, tees, hats and rain jackets
• Swag and giveaways: umbrellas, lanyards, badge reels, crayon boxes, event tents and more
• Brand stationery: offer letters, letterhead, customer folders, business cards and flyers
• Manufacturing spec sheets: clear, factory-ready documents for every merch item, built and stored in Canva

How you'll work:

• Follow our brand guide exactly (Pantone colors, logo versions and fonts)
• Present 2–3 proof options for every project to our selection team
• Take feedback and turn around edits quickly, usually within 24 hours
• Once a design is approved, create a spec sheet the manufacturer can build from: dimensions, materials, Pantone colors, logo placement and size, print or embroidery method, sizes and quantities
• Build a reusable spec sheet template in Canva so every new item follows the same format
• Deliver print-ready files (vector, correct sizes and colors) for our manufacturers
• Keep all files organized in our Canva account

You have:

• 2+ years of graphic design experience, with merch, apparel or print work in your portfolio
• Strong skills in Canva Pro; Adobe Illustrator is a big plus
• Experience preparing artwork for screen printing, embroidery or sublimation
• Experience writing tech packs or spec sheets for manufacturers (a big plus)
• An understanding of Pantone (PMS) colors and vector logo files
• Good English and a great attitude toward feedback
• Stable internet with backup power
