About Us
At Print Hero, we bridge the gap between "What if we did this?" and "Wow, look how incredible that looks on the press." We don't believe you have to choose between big, bold creative ideas and flawless technical execution. We do both.
We are a fast-paced, high-quality print production powerhouse delivering everything from large-format signage to bespoke commercial print. Now, we’re looking for a Designer/Artworker who is just as happy brainstorming the next big product trend as they are checking bleeds, color profiles, and pre-press file setup.
We are a fast-paced, high-quality print production company delivering everything from large-format signage to bespoke and commercial print. We bridge the gap between creative concepts and flawless physical execution.
We are looking for a unique talent: a skilled Designer who is equally passionate about creativity and the technical precision of Artworking. If you love seeing your designs come to life perfectly on the press, this role is for you.
The Role/The Dual Reality of Your Day-to-Day
In this role, your left brain and right brain will finally get along. You will actively wear two distinct hats:
- Hat 1: The Creative Visionary. Some days you’ll have total creative freedom to pitch new product lines, build stunning mockups, and design eye-catching marketing materials from scratch.
- Hat 2: The Pre-Press Perfectionist. Other days you’ll dive deep into the technical weeds of client-supplied files, ensuring they are pixel-perfect, color-managed, and prepped flawlessly for our production tea
The Catch? (With Great Freedom Comes Great Communication)
This is a role where you will have the independence to pitch new product ideas, try new workflows, and shape your client briefs.
Key Responsibilities
- Creative Design & Autonomy: Take the lead on developing eye-catching designs for marketing materials and branding, with the freedom to bring your own opinion and skills to own your design process—provided you keep everyone in the loop. We want someone who can use that freedom responsibly by keeping lines of communication open across the entire business.
- Product Innovation: Research current trends to independently pitch, develop, and introduce new, high-selling creative product ideas.
- Proactive Communication: Actively collaborate and communicate your ideas, progress, and brainstorm design choices closely with all departments.
- Technical Artworking: Review, amend, and optimize client-supplied artwork to ensure it is technically sound for various print processes.
Are You the Ultimate Print Hero?
- Pre-Press & Tech Integration: Set up files with correct bleeds, crop marks, and color profiles, while actively utilizing and integrating modern tools like AI-driven design features into your workflow.
- Adaptability: A flexible mindset. You don't mind an ever-changing process and view new technologies as tools to be embraced.
- Confidence & Growth: The confidence to bring your own ideas and to take constructive feedback on board, run with freedom, and use it to elevate your work.
- Commercial Awareness: An eye for what trends are hot and what will actually sell well in the print market.
Skills & Experience
- The Tools: Mastery of the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop). An interest in alternative software such as Affinity shows a deeper interest in the design world. A strong interest or experience in using AI-integrated design processes to optimize workflows is a major plus.
- The Experience: Proven experience/understanding of working within a print production or agency environment with a strong knowledge of print processes.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- A forward-thinking environment that encourages tech adoption and creative freedom.
- Opportunities to work with state-of-the-art print technology.

If you are a creative, tech-forward thinker with a meticulous technical mindset and excellent communication skills, we want to hear from you!
