Graphic Designer: Patterns & Publications

WHO WE ARE At GE Designs, we bring success, joy, and community to quilters through curated tools, fast fulfillment, and total support. Everything we sell, we designed. Gudrun Erla has been designing quilts for more than 20 years, and her work is rooted in the landscape and craft traditions of Iceland, where she is from.

We are headquartered in Chaska, MN with a warehouse, offices, and a creative studio on-site, and we operate on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). THE ROLE: GRAPHIC DESIGNER, PATTERNS & PUBLICATIONS We are looking for a graphic designer to take on the print side of our business.

Patterns, books, booklets, packaging, and the photography that goes with all of it. Gudrun designs the quilt. You help turn it into something a quilter can buy, open, and follow. That means supporting Gudrun in writing and laying out patterns in InDesign, building the illustrations in Illustrator, photographing the finished quilt, designing the cover, and getting a clean file to the printer.

You will do the same work for our books, our subscription booklets, and for the independent designers we publish. Pace and flexibility are part of our core identity as a business. The product calendar is full, the print schedules need to be on-time, and priorities move when there is a better idea on the table.

We want someone with drive and an entrepreneurial spirit who likes working that way. RESPONSIBILITIES Support Gudrun in writing and laying out quilt patterns in InDesign, making sure every instruction is accurate and easy to follow
