Creative Director

Creative Director — Fashion Housewares New York, NY (Hybrid) | Full-Time | $150,000–$180,000 base

About the Role We're looking for a Creative Director to shape the visual identity of a fast-growing fashion housewares brand based in NYC. You'll lead creative direction across packaging, photography, and digital content — turning everyday home objects into desirable, fashion-forward statements across every screen and shelf.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can set a bold creative vision and roll up their sleeves to execute it with a lean, fast-moving team. You'll partner closely with our in-house packaging team (design and production already covered) to make sure every box, label, and unboxing moment feels unmistakably on-brand.

What You'll Do

• Define and evolve the brand's creative vision across packaging, photography, and digital/social content
• Art direct photo and video shoots from concept to final delivery — casting, styling, sets, and post-production
• Partner with our packaging team to guide creative direction on structure, materials, and finishes, ensuring packaging aligns with the broader brand world
• Lead the visual strategy for the brand's digital presence — website, social, email, and paid campaigns
• Build and mentor a small internal creative team, plus manage external photographers, stylists, and agencies
• Own the brand's visual identity system (typography, color, imagery, packaging aesthetics) and keep it consistent across every touchpoint
• Collaborate with marketing and e-commerce to translate creative concepts into high-converting digital campaigns
• Stay ahead of trends in fashion, interiors, and lifestyle content to keep the brand culturally relevant

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years in creative direction, with experience in fashion, lifestyle, or home/housewares brands
• A portfolio that shows strong art direction across packaging, photography, and digital content
• Proven experience leading photoshoots and managing creative teams and vendors
• Sharp eye for detail, color, composition, and brand consistency
• Comfortable balancing big-picture vision with tight production timelines and budgets
• Strong collaborator who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Based in or willing to relocate to the NYC area

Why Join Us

• Shape the visual identity of a brand at a pivotal growth stage
• Work alongside a robust, established packaging team — you set the vision, they help bring it to life
• Small, senior team — high ownership, low bureaucracy
• Competitive salary + benefits + creative autonomy
• Hybrid schedule based in our NYC studio
