Project Overview

We are building out a sports-focused merchandise store and are looking for an experienced designer to help create ~50 product designs + mockups.

This is NOT just graphic design — we need someone who understands both:

Files optimized for DTF / embroidery / sublimation

2. Product Mockups (Website Ready)

Lifestyle mockups (realistic, clean, modern)
Flat lay and/or model-based images
Multiple angles when needed
Consistent branding across all items

3. Ecommerce Listing Graphics

Main product image (high-conversion style)
Supporting images (features, sizing, variations)
Simple infographics (optional but preferred)

Product Types (Examples)
T-Shirts
Hoodies
Hats
Accessories (bags, etc.)
Sports-themed merch

Requirements

We are specifically looking for someone who:

Has proven experience in apparel design
Understands print production (VERY important)
Has experience creating mockups for ecommerce (Shopify, Etsy, etc.)
Can maintain consistent branding across multiple products
Can move fast and communicate clearly

Bonus (Highly Preferred)
