Apparel Graphic Designer for Premium Fitness Brand — Test Project + Long-Term Work

About Us We're HPA (High Performance Adult), a fitness apparel and coaching brand built on one idea: Train For Your Real Life. Our aesthetic is bold, clean, and functional — identity-driven, never loud for the sake of it. We're launching a print-on-demand apparel line and looking for a designer to grow with us as the catalog expands. This posting is a paid test project for a single shirt design. If it's a strong fit on both sides, there's steady ongoing work designing the rest of the line. The Project Design a t-shirt graphic for our slogan "Sweat Not Shortcuts." The phrase reflects our core message — earned results over external shortcuts — and the design should feel confident and a little confrontational without being preachy. Think apparel someone wears as a statement about who they are, not a billboard. We'll share our full brand guide (logo files, color palette, typography, tone) with shortlisted candidates so you're working inside a real system, not guessing.
