Marketing Graphic Designer
American Society of Interior Designers, Vernon Hills, IL, United States
Since 1949, Illini has partnered with promotional product distributors across the country to design and deliver distinctive products across corporate, education, healthcare, and retail markets. As a family‑owned business, we’ve built our reputation on quality, reliability, and long‑term relationships.
Our team develops, sources, prints, and assembles a wide range of tabletop & kitchenware, bar accessories, office & desktop items, pet & baby items, and seasonal promotions. With in‑house printing, assembly capabilities, and a 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse, we operate as a hands‑on, product‑focused organization.
We move quickly, collaborate closely across departments, and take pride in producing work that is practical, polished, and built to last.
Position Details We are seeking a Marketing Production Designer to support product launches and ongoing marketing initiatives across print and digital channels.
