Production Designer / Graphic Designer

About the Role

A fast-growing, multi-brand winery and restaurant group is looking for a Production Designer with a true designer's eye to join its lean in-house creative team. You'll sit at the intersection of design and production: executing flawlessly across print, digital and in-restaurant work, while bringing your own ideas to the table.

Think of the role as roughly 70% production and 30% design. You'll own production for campaigns across multiple brands, and you'll have room to elevate layouts, push templates further and pitch fresh approaches. The team is small, the pace is fast and good ideas get used.

Engagement Details

• Location: Chicago area, hybrid 1-2 days/week in Downers Grove office. Do not apply if you aren't based in the greater Chicago area 
• Hours: 40 hours/week, W2 contract 
• Term: 3-month initial contract, with strong likelihood of extension to 6–12 months
• Rate: $48–60/hr

What You'll Do

• Design and produce assets across print, digital and in-restaurant channels: signage, mailers, postcards, retail materials, email and social
• Support multiple brands, each with its own visual identity, guidelines and voice
• Build layouts, mechanicals, resizes and campaign versioning across formats and channels
• Bring ideas to the table: suggest layout improvements, elevate existing templates and help refine how the brands show up
• Produce email assets in Figma and adapt them for a templated email platform
• Prepare production-ready files with correct bleeds, color profiles, image resolution and preflight standards
• Partner closely with the creative director, copywriters, marketers and external vendors to deliver high-quality work on tight timelines
• Maintain consistency across brand systems, templates and production standards
• Organize large volumes of creative assets across

What We're Looking For

• 4–7 years of experience in production design and graphic design, ideally within an agency, in-house creative team or brand environment
• A portfolio that shows both production precision and strong design craft
• Expert proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, plus strong Figma skills
• Strong layout, typography and visual instincts, with the confidence to propose ideas, not just execute them
• Solid understanding of print production, digital asset preparation and file management
• Experience working across multiple brands or sub-brands is a strong plus
• Restaurant, hospitality, food, beverage or retail experience is a strong plus
• Curiosity about AI tools and how they can support creative and production workflows
• Clear communication and a solutions-oriented mindset

You'll Thrive Here If…

• You take pride in flawless execution and also love making things look better than the brief asked for
• You're comfortable with iterative feedback and quick pivots; priorities shift and you roll with it
• You bring energy, collaboration and a low-ego approach to a small, close-knit team
• You're excited to help elevate a growing lifestyle brand across every touchpoint
