We are looking for a highly skilled Graphic Designer to join our FASTSIGNS Northeast San Antonio team. This role requires an innovative, independent designer who can leverage the latest AI technology to push creative boundaries. As an in-house design powerhouse, you will own the design process from concept to production. A strong background in the signage industry is highly preferred, and a forward-thinking creative who considers AI tools an essential part of their modern design workflow is sought.

Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, specifically Illustrator and Photoshop.
Proven ability to work autonomously as a solo designer, managing time and prioritizing tasks effectively without a creative director looking over your shoulder.
A portfolio showcasing both traditional design skills and AI-assisted projects, ideally including large-format or environmental graphics.
Ability to comfortably safely lift up to 50 lbs (handling vinyl rolls, substrate panels, etc.) and stand for extended periods during production tasks.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with the physical sign manufacturing process, large format printing, and vinyl application.
Experience with RIP software (e.g., Onyx, FlexiSign).

Responsibilities

Serve on the graphic design team, managing all design requests from initial client concepts to final, print-ready production files.
Actively utilize AI image generation and design tools (e.g. Adobe Firefly, Gemini) to accelerate workflows, generate concepts, and enhance final artwork.
Prepare precise files for large-format printing and sign fabrication, ensuring correct bleeds, color profiles (CMYK/Pantone), and substrate compatibility.
Independently manage your design queue, communicate directly with clients to understand their vision, and coordinate with the production team to ensure feasibility.
Ensure all designs align with client branding guidelines while optimizing typography and layout for readability at scale (wayfinding, exterior signs, vehicle graphics, etc.).
