About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Create new artwork and complete sets in Hadley Designs' established style across our product lines.
Draw and illustrate original elements like characters, motifs, patterns, and scenes that fit our cute, kid-friendly aesthetic.
Turn the CCO's concepts and creative direction into finished, production-ready product designs.
Carry a design from initial handoff through final build-out without kicking work back up the chain.
Own the execution offload (variations, building out a design across a full set, and file prep) that frees the CCO's hands.
Prepare print and production files to spec, and build mockups and product previews for listings.
Keep every piece on-style and on-brand across the full product set.
Maintain the living style-reference so the look stays consistent as the catalog grows.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A portfolio of original illustration work that shows a cute, playful, kid-friendly or product-design sensibility.

Ability to match and extend an existing art style, completing a set so new pieces sit naturally alongside the originals.
Strong ability to take written and verbal creative direction and turn it into finished work.
Reliability on deadlines while managing several pieces at once.
