Director of Print Design at Shinesty, leading creative print program with humor. Focused on apparel design and team leadership in a fast-growing brand.
Responsibilities:
- Lead seasonal brainstorms across print, graphics, fabric, and design trends — spanning inline, wholesale, collabs, and limited edition
- Research competitive and aspirational brands to keep Shinesty's creative output sharp and relevant
- Identify and pitch new print techniques
- Bring fresh, culturally-aware print concepts to the table every quarter
- Design across all categories - everything from ski, formal, hats, socks, tees, knitwear, but with a focus on underwear
- Build custom repeats, reduce color artwork, and deliver production-ready files in Illustrator
- Collaborate with the Design team on solid color assortments, novelty treatments, and silhouette development
- Delegate work across the print team strategically to hit deadlines without compromising quality
- Concept and manage artwork for limited editions, retail and wholesale initiatives.

- Run print design reviews with the broader team; gather feedback and drive revisions efficiently
- Manage the bi-weekly Sprint Board and hold regular team syncs to keep priorities clear and momentum high
- Partner with Merch and Ops to improve process and reduce errors across product development
- Identify smart opportunities to utilize AI, bring in freelance/VA where it adds capacity
Requirements:
- 5-10+ years of print or textile design experience in apparel or consumer products
- Deep expertise in Adobe Illustrator — repeats, color reductions, and production files are second nature
- Extremely strong in curation and taste
- A genuine understanding of trend forecasting — you know what's resonating before it peaks
- You have a sense of humor and a real appreciation for what makes Shinesty's brand tick — you get the joke and you can make it better
- Proven experience leading or mentoring a design team while still being an active contributor
- Strong project management skills — you can hold a calendar, run a meeting, and give direct, constructive feedback
- Comfortable working across multiple product categories and channels — DTC, wholesale, collabs, and retail
- Experience with licensed collaborations, novelty product, or private label is a plus
Benefits:
- Relocation budget available (to Denver/Boulder), but not required
- Competitive salary plus bonus potential
- Laptop and whatever other equipment you need to entertain the people
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Flexible PTO, no need to accrue time, take as much as you'd like
