Product Graphic Designer

The Role

At North and Mystic, product design doesn’t stop at performance — it looks fast, feels intentional, and tells a story before it ever touches the water.

We are looking for a Senior Graphic Product Designer to lead the visual identity of our products across North Kiteboarding, North Foils, and Mystic (hardgoods & accessories, excluding apparel). From kites, wings, boards, foils, and bars to wetsuits, harnesses, protection gear, hardware, bags, and accessories, you define how our products look, feel, and show up in the world, season after season.

This is a purely creative, product-level design role. You will not be engineering constructions or solving structural problems. Instead, you will shape graphics, color systems, material expression, and visual storytelling, working closely with Technical Leads and Technical Designers who bring your ideas to life.

Sitting at the intersection of brand, category, and product, you translate brand vision and category strategy into bold, confident, and unmistakable product design across both North and Mystic.

– Deliver clear, factory-ready artwork that is clean, consistent, and production-smart

– Adapt graphic systems to different shapes and constructions without losing impact

Technical Collaboration (Non-Engineering)

– Work closely with Technical Leads and Technical Designers to understand materials, construction, and constraints

– Read and interpret technical drawings, panel layouts, and material specifications

– Adjust and refine visuals based on technical feedback

Collaboration & Creative Leadership

– Partner with the Art Director to align product visuals with overall brand direction

– Work closely with Category Directors to support hero products and commercial priorities

– Act as the visual voice at product level

Materials, Print & Real-World Performance

– Design with strong knowledge of print techniques and material behavior

– Collaborate with factories and suppliers on sampling and visual testing

– Solve challenges related to stretch, distortion, fading, durability, and wear

– Review samples and pre-production runs to ensure visual quality on land and on the water

Who You Are
