Illustrator for kids brand — print & t-shirt graphics (ongoing)

### About us We’re **Nono** — a small UK print & apparel brand (Sam + Eve) shifting into a dedicated children’s niche. We already sell hand-drawn wall prints and adult tees with small embroidered chest motifs. Next: kids/toddler tees and more print ranges in the same playful, colourful, slightly wonky hand-drawn style. ### What you’ll do Ongoing illustration support for: - **Wall art / print designs** (nursery & kids, gift-friendly) - **T-shirt / embroidery-ready chest graphics** — small (approx. 3.5–4.5cm), simple, colourful, easy to read at patch size - Occasional **seasonal** motifs You’ll work from briefs and references we provide, match our existing style, and deliver print-ready files. ### Must-have - Proven work designed **for print** (not only digital/social) — show it in your portfolio - **Established, consistent illustration style** (we’re hiring a look, not a different vibe every week) - Comfortable simplifying designs so they work small (chest embroidery / patch scale) - Clean vector or embroidery-friendly artwork (AI / SVG / PDF + PNG) - Reliable communication and happy with iterative feedback ### Nice to have - Experience with **apparel / embroidery** art (limited colours, chunky shapes) - Kids / nursery illustration - Packaging or small-brand merch ### First paid test (definition of done to start) 1–2 small chest-graphic concepts matching our style (~4cm, limited colours), plus one mock on a white kids tee. If it’s a fit, we move to ongoing work (print series + tee graphics). ### How to apply Please include: 1. Links to **3–5 portfolio pieces** closest to hand-drawn / print / kids work 2. 2–3 sentences on why your style fits a playful children’s brand 3. Confirmation you can work from reference and take art direction Applications without relevant portfolio samples won’t be considered.
