 Job Description:

Horizon Tech is looking for a Production Graphic Designer to support our growing apparel and promotional products business. You will focus on preparing and adjusting artwork for production on apparel (DTF, DTG, embroidery) and on a variety of promotional items (pens, mugs, drinkware, bags, etc.).

The role is primarily production-oriented: making client artwork print-ready, rebuilding logos when needed, and creating simple, on‑brand merch/apparel concepts. You will work remotely but in close collaboration with our in-house team to ensure all artwork is accurate, on‑brand, and production-ready.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Adjust and prepare client logos and designs for Direct to Film (DTF), Direct to Garment (DTG), and embroidery.
  • Ensure correct sizing, placement, file format, and resolution for each print/decoration method.
  • Create straightforward design concepts and variations for merch and apparel (e.g., themed or event-based apparel using client logos and branding).
  • Size, position, and optimize artwork for a wide range of promotional products using vendor templates and specifications.
  • Clean up and refine client-provided files that are not print-ready.
  • Rebuild or recreate logos when clients do not have vector or high-resolution files, while maintaining brand integrity.
  • Manage multiple small projects with quick turnaround times.
  • Communicate remotely with the internal team to clarify project details, priorities, and deadlines.
  • Adapt to evolving design needs as the apparel and promotional product line continues to grow.

Requirements:

  • Around 2+ years of experience as a Graphic Designer in a print shop, apparel decoration, promotional products, or a similar production-focused environment.
  • Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
  • Solid understanding of vector vs. raster graphics, CMYK/RGB/spot/Pantone colors, and basic print production standards for apparel and promotional items.
  • Proven ability to prepare production-ready files for print and embroidery.
  • Proven ability to recreate and clean up low-quality logos into clean, scalable vector artwork.
  • Ability to follow brand guidelines and client instructions accurately.
  • High attention to detail and a strong sense of quality.
  • Reliability with deadlines and the ability to manage multiple tasks at once.
  • Clear written communication skills for remote collaboration.
  • Willingness to learn and adjust as services and product offerings expand.
  • Nice to have but not required: experience with promotional product vendor templates, familiarity with DTF/DTG/screen printing/embroidery workflows, and prior experience working remotely with US-based clients or teams.
