Job Details

Apparel Graphic Designer

Burlebo is seeking a full-time Apparel Graphic Designer to join the Burlebo family.

This role is for a creative, detail-obsessed designer who lives and breathes graphics and wants to see their work worn every day. As an Apparel Graphic Designer at Burlebo, you'll help define the visual language of our apparel through bold graphics, thoughtful typography, and brand-right artwork that connects with our customer and tells our story.

You'll be hands-on from concept to final production — sketching ideas, building artwork, refining details, and collaborating with our apparel, product development, and marketing teams to bring graphics to life. We're looking for someone who's confident in their design voice, excited to collaborate, and eager to grow as part of a tight-knit, fast-moving team.

If you love apparel, enjoy building graphics that actually ship, and want to be part of a brand that doesn't take itself too seriously — this might be your spot.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Concept, design, and execute original apparel graphics across tees, fleece, hats, and accessories
• Create brand-driven artwork including logos, illustrations, type-based graphics, prints, and seasonal concepts
• Partner closely with Apparel Design to integrate graphics seamlessly into seasonal collections
• Explore trends, pop culture, vintage references, and outdoor/lifestyle influences to inspire new graphic ideas
• Translate sales results and customer feedback into fresh, wearable graphic concepts
• Build clean, production-ready graphic CADs with accurate placement, sizing, and color callouts
• Create detailed graphic tech packs for screen print, embroidery, heat transfer, and other embellishment techniques
• Review strike-offs, samples, and lab dips to ensure artwork, color, and execution meet Burlebo standards
• Collaborate with Product Development and Production to problem-solve and optimize graphic execution
• Support Marketing with graphic assets when needed for launches, campaigns, and storytelling
• Stay organized, manage multiple projects, and hit deadlines without losing attention to detail

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or related field — or equivalent industry experience
• 3–5+ years of experience designing graphics specifically for apparel
• Strong understanding of apparel decoration methods (screen print, embroidery, sublimation, patches, etc.)
• A strong eye for typography, layout, color, and balance — with a portfolio that shows wearable, commercial graphics
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative, in-office environment
• Strong communication skills and a positive, team-first attitude

TECHNICAL SKILLS

• Adobe Illustrator (expert level required)
• Adobe Photoshop (required)
• Strong vector illustration and production artwork skills
• Experience preparing print-ready files for vendors
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, Excel, and Google Workspace

THE BURLEBO WAY

We're a team that works hard, laughs often, and takes pride in building something special together. This is a full-time, in-office position at our South Austin HQ, where collaboration, creativity, and culture matter just as much as great design.
