About Us
We are a publishing company and the creators of Jade Summer, a bestselling adult coloring book brand.
Our books help customers relax, reduce stress, and enjoy creativity through beautiful, accessible coloring pages.
We create products that customers love, and we are looking for a talented designer to help us make our catalog look even more polished, professional, and retail-ready.
About the Role
We are looking for a senior graphic designer to create and improve book covers, Amazon marketing graphics, and related visual assets for Jade Summer.
This is not an illustration role. We provide the black-and-white line art and any finished colored artwork needed. Your role is to turn those assets into polished commercial designs with strong typography, layout, color, hierarchy, thumbnail readability, and retail appeal.
This is a strong opportunity for a designer who wants meaningful creative work, consistent long-term part-time hours, and the chance to improve the visual identity of a successful consumer publishing brand with real customers, strong sales history, and broad retail visibility.
Why Great Designers Enjoy This Role
- You will work on products that help people relax, reduce stress, and enjoy creativity.
- You will contribute to a bestselling Amazon brand with a large catalog and real customers.
- You will work on a brand that has also been published through traditional publishing, including Penguin Random House in the U.S.
- You will help modernize and elevate an established consumer brand.
- You will have a steady stream of creative design work instead of one-off projects.
- You will work with a small business where good design matters and your judgment is valued.
- You will not be asked to create illustrations from scratch. We provide the artwork, and your focus will be design, typography, layout, and presentation.
Responsibilities
- Create professional, polished, retail-ready book covers.
- Improve typography, layout, color, visual hierarchy, and thumbnail readability.
- Modernize selected Jade Summer titles while preserving the warm, creative, relaxing feel of the brand.

- Prepare organized, editable, print-ready production files.
- Follow technical requirements for print covers, online retail images, and marketing graphics.
- Ensure fonts, stock assets, and design elements are properly licensed for commercial use.
- Ensure final designs are human-made and do not use AI-generated final artwork or AI-generated final design assets.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of paid graphic design experience
- Strong portfolio showing book covers, packaging, retail design, ecommerce graphics, publishing, consumer products, or premium marketing design
- Excellent typography, layout, color, and visual hierarchy skills
- Strong understanding of how designs need to read as small online thumbnails
- Strong attention to detail
- Reliable, professional, organized, and open to feedback
Schedule, Compensation & Work Arrangement
- Part-time W-2 employee position
