About Yardsale

Yardsale makes clever, well-designed gear for people who love to be outside. 

Our team’s expertise spans design and marketing from some of Silicon Valley’s largest tech companies and pairs it with lean operational expertise as previous startup founders. Responsibilities on our team blend our work across disciplines allowing our core tenet of thoughtful design to impact every aspect of our business from sales and marketing to operations and quality. In simpler words: we do it all, we do it well, and we rarely settle for less than perfect.


Overview

We’re looking for a talented and creative Freelance Graphic Designer to join our small but growing team. This is a unique opportunity to help build Yardsale’s design world as we scale to become a global brand over the next 2-5 years. 

You'll help build out the visual identities for new initiatives and campaigns including our community programs, our new retail store, event merchandise, and much more. 

While we have a few key kickoff projects, we're looking for someone who can support us on an ongoing basis with ~5-10 hours per month.

  • Extremely online, ahead of trends, and fluent in digital culture, design, and consumer behavior

Must-Haves

  • A strong portfolio of past illustration or graphic design work for consumer brands
  • Comfort working within and expanding upon an existing design framework
  • Strong design skills in InDesign and Figma

Bonus Points

Examples of Your First Few Projects

  • Establish the visual identity for our new Ski Patroller and Ski Instructor Programs, including a logo, special packaging, and more 
  • Build out a design framework and visuals for our retail projects in San Francisco, New York, and London
