ABOUT US

NewEraHope is a premium Christian streetwear brand with over 5,000 orders shipped and a growing community of customers who value faith, quality, and purpose.

We are not a church merch brand.

We are not looking for generic Christian graphics, clipart crosses, or youth group flyer designs.

Our goal is to build a premium apparel brand that can stand alongside the best streetwear brands in the industry while remaining unapologetically faith-centered.

Everything we create should feel intentional, elevated, modern, and premium.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

This is not a traditional graphic design position.

We are looking for someone who understands apparel, streetwear culture, product development, branding, and design.

You will not simply create graphics.

You will help design products.

That means thinking through every detail of an item:

* Embroidery placement
* Puff embroidery concepts
* Hat construction
* Brim color selection
* Stitching color choices
* Interior branding
* Woven labels
* Neck label concepts
* Packaging concepts
* Garment color selection
* Product mockups
* Collection cohesion

We are looking for someone who obsesses over details.

The type of person who notices when a stitch color is wrong.

The type of person who understands why a premium hat feels premium.

The type of person who understands why one font feels luxury and another feels cheap.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Apparel Design

* Create premium apparel concepts
* Design t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and accessories

* Snapback closure selection
* Rope placement
* Side embroidery
* Back embroidery
* Puff embroidery
* Interior tape branding
* Sweatband branding
* Woven labels
* Stitching details

You should think about the entire hat, not just the artwork on the front.

* Ensure products align with our brand standards
* Assist with packaging concepts
* Help create premium customer experiences

* Clean layouts
* Modern fashion trends

We do NOT like:

* Generic Christian graphics
* Overused scripture layouts

IMPORTANT

We are not looking for someone to tell us what our brand should be.

We are looking for someone who can take a vision and help bring it to life.

We value collaboration, communication, and attention to detail.
