Art Director

About the Role

We're a growing footwear brand looking for a freelance Art Director to own the visual direction of our shoots—from concept through execution. You'll work closely with the founder but have significant creative autonomy. This is a part-time, flexible role suited for someone who thrives in scrappy startup environments and knows how to make things look elevated without a massive budget.

​

What You'll Do

• Develop concepts and mood boards for campaigns and e-commerce shoots
• Plan shot lists and oversee creative direction on set
• Book studios and handle light production coordination
• Source and manage relationships with photographers and models (existing network preferred, or willingness to build one)
• Mock up concepts using Gemini and Canva
• Execute a range of work from simple product photography to larger brand campaigns

​

What We're Looking For

• Based in NYC with availability for occasional in-person work
• Experience directing shoots across e-commerce and campaign styles
• Comfortable with lean productions—resourceful, organized, self-directed
• Eye for refined, luxurious aesthetics
• Familiar with AI tools (Gemini) and design platforms (Canva)

​

Details

• Project volume: approximately one shoot every other month
• Reports to: Founder
• Creative collaboration is central, but you'll have room to run with ideas
