"Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place."

　　RumiYou are here for a reason. An explorer at heart, you've decided to look for that place where you can contribute something lasting, meaningful, and measurable. Maybe you're ready to move on from the land of subjectivity, budget constraints, and constant client revisions. Or you hear that little voice inside urging you to teach and mentor, not just do.

　　If what you seek is more than a job, more like a calling, you're in the right place.

　　Your leadership will be the game-changer for optimists everywhere. Why? Because the way we spread the POWER of optimism is through art. Art is our vehicle. Art unites us. Art elevates us beyond language, boundaries, and divisiveness of any kind. Here, art is the ultimate form of self-expression for our customers. The optimistic art and messages we create are applied to blank "canvasses" known as t-shirts, hats, games, and other lifestyle products our customers intentionally choose to share their own beliefs. Simply put, art is the soul of Life is Good.

　　IMPORTANT DETAILS

　　If you have significant experience designing art for t-shirts using a wide variety of art styles and have led a small team to produce art specifically for t-shirts, we want to meet you. If not, this isn't the right role for you. Please wait for a job that is a better fit for your expertise.
