If you've ever redesigned a cereal box in your head while eating breakfast, the Art Director role at Nordstrom might be your natural habitat. Lean on 10+ years of creative expertise to own projects, collaborate with a sharp team, and earn $170,000 - $245,000.
Key Responsibilities
- Pressure-test headlines against real audience reactions before anything goes live
- Argue palette and type with the same evidence you'd bring to a Figma review
- Reconcile legal's caveats with a layout that still breathes
- Reframe constraints from the freelance budget as the brief's most useful lever
- Create wireframes, mockups, and high-fidelity prototypes for web and mobile
- Choreograph the handoff so nothing thoughtfully-bold gets lost between studio and dev
What You'll Bring
- Hands-on experience with modern Design Thinking workflows and tooling
- Director fluency in Figma, with Design Tokens on your roadmap
- Hands-on creative experience that holds up to follow-up questions
- The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
- Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
Where most creative vendors automate the easy parts, Nordstrom tackles the hard ones, from a purpose-soaked headquarters in Richmond, CA. Decisions at Nordstrom come with a name attached, because ownership without accountability is just noise.
The headline reads $170,000 - $245,000; the fine print is all upside, mentorship, benefits, and freedom to grow your User Research.
