Present graphic concepts and storytelling frameworks to internal partners and leadership
Execution & Technical Craft
Prepare production-ready artwork files with accuracy in scale, separations, placement, and formatting
Provide detailed color callouts, proportion notes, and placement direction to ensure design integrity
Partner with Production and Tech teams to ensure graphics execute successfully across fabrics and silhouettes
Manage multiple seasons and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Surface / Print
Understanding of print techniques (screen, heat transfer, digital, sublimation) and how they interact with different fabrications
Support surface design development when needed, applying strong graphic sensibility
Who You Are

About Company
Doris and Don Fisher opened the first Gap store in 1969 with a simple idea -- to make it easier to find a pair of jeans and a commitment to do more. Over the last 46 years, the company has grown from a single store to a global fashion business with five brands -- Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta and Intermix. Gap's clothes are available in 90 countries worldwide through 3,300 company-operated stores, almost 400 franchise stores, and e-commerce sites and is still growing.
Many companies work to improve their services and businesses every day by using GAP Testers who anonymously go into various places and report back to the companies on everything from cleanliness, customer service to quality control. Being a tester is a very flexible, fun job with lots of benefits.
