Graphic Designer/Production Artist

At Identity Zone, we don't just decorate apparel. We help our customers tell their stories, celebrate accomplishments, build team spirit, recognize employees, promote their businesses, and strengthen their brands.

Every project has a purpose, and every order represents someone's vision. Whether it's outfitting a championship team, launching a new business, recognizing dedicated employees, or creating promotional products that leave a lasting impression, we take pride in helping our customers succeed. For more than 21 years, Identity Zone has been Central Oregon's trusted source for custom apparel, embroidery, printing, promotional products, online stores, and uniforms. We're proud to be a locally owned business built on creativity, quality, relationships, and community. We're looking for an energetic, creative, self-motivated individual who loves design, marketing, photography, social media, and bringing ideas to life. If you're the kind of person who gets excited seeing something you designed being worn around town, featured in a local business, or shared across social media... keep reading.
