Illustrator

We are looking for a highly skilled freelance illustrator to support an exciting design project focused on bottle pattern illustrations. This is a hands-on, full-time freelance opportunity with a fast-paced creative team, and may extend beyond the initial 3-6 months.

Project Overview:

You'll be working on full-bottle design motifs, transforming creative briefs and AI-rendered concepts into fully illustrated patterns. This includes multiple rounds of concept ideation and refinement, with a strong emphasis on creative exploration, technical execution, and adaptability in illustration styles.

What You'll Do:

• Collaborate with the internal creative team to bring bottle design briefs to life through illustration.
• Participate in brainstorming and ideation sessions, creating 20-60 initial sketches based on provided motifs and themes.
• Refine selected ideas through 3 rounds of concept development, narrowing down to 1-3 final directions per brief.
• Create final illustrations using flat color and Pantone swatches, delivered as production-ready vector files.
• Handle diverse illustration styles-each concept will differ in mood, color, and execution.
• Deliver polished templates and artwork files aligned with technical and brand requirements.

What We're Looking For:

• Strong portfolio showcasing diverse illustration styles, preferably in product design, packaging, or textiles.
• Experience working with Pantone color systems and delivering artwork (Adobe Illustrator proficiency required).
• Ability to iterate quickly from concept sketching to final execution under tight timelines.
• Experience with brands like Pottery Barn, Urban Outfitters, Nike, or similar is a plus.
• Familiarity with illustration for wallpaper, fabric, packaging, or surface design is highly desirable.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.

Details:

• Contract Type: Freelance
• Hours: ~40 hours/week
• Duration: 3-6 months (with potential extension)
• Start Date: Immediate (2 briefs ready to begin)
