Graphic Designer Product Illustrator Custom Toy Art and Printing

This is not a boring design job.
This is a make cool stuff every day job.

We’re a small, high energy company building custom LEGO minifigures and parts. We’re looking for someone creative, hands-on, and obsessed with turning ideas into real, physical products.

What Makes This Different

You won’t just sit behind a screen designing. You’ll design it… then actually make it.

Who You Are

• You have experience with vector art (especially using Adobe Illustrator)
• You have your own artistic style and inspiration (not just copying trends)
• You enjoy coming up with fun, clever, or badass ideas
• You’re into things like:
• Star Wars (huge plus)
• Video games (Call of Duty, Halo, FPS Shooters etc)
• You like working with your hands, not just designing digitally
• You take pride in high quality work

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take an idea and bring it all the way to a finished product:

• Design custom graphics for LEGO minifigures and parts
• Prepare print ready artwork
• Make printing plates
• Mix inks (dialing in colors exactly right)
• Prep parts for printing
• Pad print the designs onto parts
• Assemble finished products
• Package items when needed
• Take product photos for listings
• Shoot content/photos for social media

You’ll have a lot of creative control.

If you have a cool idea:

• Run it by me for approval
• Then go execute it

I’ll give you everything you need tools, materials, systems to turn your ideas into products.

There will also be a mix of my ideas in the pipeline, but a big part of this role is you bringing new ideas to the table.

Real Talk

• The printing process can be repetitive at times
• BUT we don’t run massive batches, so you won’t be stuck doing the same thing all day
• There’s constant variety between designing, printing, building, and shooting content

The Environment

• Small team
• High energy
• Very creative space
• Lots of freedom, lots of ownership

If you like the idea of:

• Designing something in the morning
• Holding the finished product in your hand that same week

…you’ll fit right in.

If you've read this far, I highly suggest you check out our website and look at some of our current/past products to see what you would be doing! And to be clear, I want this role to be someone who can do even wackier ideas! Have an idea for a cool grafitti, let's print it on a minifigure and see how it looks! Have an idea for a crazy T shirt that we think would look good on a LEGO figure, let's try it! Have some crazy designer pattern let's give it a shot!

How to Apply:

I'd like a short video of you talking about the following! (it's a lot I know, bare with us, we really want the right fit!)

Give a quick introduction about yourself and your art/design background
What are you currently doing for work?
What past work experience do you have that relates to this role?

Show examples of your work (vector art preferred)
Walk me through one project you’re proud of from idea → finished design

Where do you get your inspiration from?
How do you come up with original ideas instead of copying trends?
If you could design any LEGO-style product right now, what would you make and why?

Walk me through your full process from idea → print-ready design

Have you ever worked with physical production, tools, or hands-on processes? Explain
How do you feel about hands-on work like printing, assembling, and packaging products?
This role includes some repetitive tasks (printing/assembly). Are you comfortable with that?

What does “high-quality work” mean to you in practice?
Tell me about a time you caught a small mistake that others would’ve missed

Tell me about a time your design was rejected or heavily changed—how did you handle it?
How do you prefer to receive feedback?

Tell me about a time you started or created something without being told
If you had full creative freedom here, what kind of product line would you create?

You need to create a new product for launch next week. Walk me through exactly what you would do from day 1 to finished product
