About the Role
We’re looking for a talented and detail-loving Creative Services Designer to help capture the spirit of destinations across the U.S. (and beyond!) through stunning souvenir designs. This is the perfect opportunity for a designer who loves storytelling through art — someone who finds inspiration in local culture, landscapes, and landmarks, and knows how to turn that inspiration into beautiful, production-ready products.
From apparel and drinkware to magnets, patches, and pins, you’ll design artwork that celebrates places people love to visit — while ensuring every piece is crafted with precision and ready for production. You’ll also collaborate on marketing visuals that help showcase our products to retailers and travelers alike.
If you’re equal parts creative dreamer and organized producer, you’ll fit right in with our fast-moving, collaborative team.
What You’ll Do
Design Destination-Ready Art
Create original artwork for souvenir products including apparel, headwear, mugs, patches, pins, decals, and more.
Develop location-inspired designs that reflect each region’s culture, wildlife, typography, and personality.
Prepare production-ready files that meet specifications for screen printing, embroidery, sublimation, and DTF processes.
Adapt artwork across different product types and materials while maintaining clarity, color accuracy, and brand consistency.
Collaborate and Create for Marketing
Partner with marketing and product development teams to align art direction with tourism trends and seasonal campaigns.
Design marketing assets such as product catalogs, sell sheets, trade show graphics, packaging concepts, and digital content.
Support product launches with visuals that capture attention and communicate the story behind each collection.
Stay Organized and Production-Focused
Manage multiple creative projects at once, meeting deadlines without sacrificing quality.
Proof, review, and finalize artwork for approval and manufacturing release.
Maintain organized artwork libraries sorted by region, product line, and season.
Implement feedback efficiently and contribute to improving team workflows and consistency.
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 3+ years in production art, illustration, or merchandise design — ideally in the souvenir, retail, or apparel industries.
Skills:
Expert in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat.
Strong grasp of color separations, print processes, and material-based design adjustments.
Proven ability to design within themed or destination-based styles that balance illustration, typography, and layout.
Experience creating marketing visuals for catalogs, campaigns, and product launches.
Excellent time management and organizational skills in a fast-paced environment.
Traits:
Highly detail-oriented with a passion for craftsmanship.
Collaborative and feedback-driven.
Positive, adaptable, and always eager to learn and improve.
Who You Are
A creative storyteller who can turn a city skyline, mountain range, or iconic landmark into a piece of art that connects emotionally with travelers.
A designer who understands how to merge creativity and manufacturability — you care as much about how a product feels in someone’s hand as how it looks on the screen.
A team player who loves collaboration and knows that great design supports both brand and business goals.
Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, production-driven environment, where every day brings new inspiration and creative challenges.
Bonus Points
Experience in the souvenir, gift, or travel retail industries.
Familiarity with embroidery digitizing, screen printing, or print-on-demand workflows.
Understanding of trend forecasting for regional merchandise.
Skills in mockup creation, product photography, or marketing collateral design.
Knowledge of Pantone color matching and print testing for consistency.
What It’s Like Here
At Velociterra, we’re all about creating products that make people smile — souvenirs that remind travelers where they’ve been and inspire where they’ll go next. You’ll join a creative, collaborative team where your work truly helps shape how our products connect with customers around the world.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
We offer great benefits including PTO, health, dental, and vision insurance, 401K matching, and on-the-job training. You’ll also enjoy our welcoming, inclusive environment (and our monthly company lunches!).
If you’re ready to combine artistry with production excellence and design souvenirs that tell a story, apply now and come join us!
