Remote 3D Product Visualization Jobs in Seattle, WA

Freelance Creative Designer - Merchandise & Product Concepts

Location: Remote / Freelance
Employment Type: Freelance / Project-Based
Company: BDA

BDA is looking to connect with talented freelance creative designers who can jump in and support our team when rush projects, overflow work, or specialized creative needs come up.

This is not a full-time or consistently scheduled role. Instead, we are building a network of trusted freelance partners who are open to taking on project-based work here and there, depending on client needs, timing, and availability. Some projects may come with a defined timeline, while others may move quickly or evolve as the work develops.

This could be a great fit for someone who enjoys variety, moves quickly, and is comfortable jumping into creative projects that help bring brands to life through meaningful, thoughtful, and unexpected merchandise experiences.

What You'll Help Create
In this freelance role, you may support a wide range of creative deliverables, including custom merchandise concepts, limited-time fan collectibles, product packaging, promotional activations, product presentations, and client-facing visual storytelling.

The right freelance partner understands that great merchandise is more than putting a logo on a product. It is about understanding the brand, the audience, the moment, and how a product can create excitement, connection, and memorable customer experiences.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for creative partners who are able to:
   Stay aware of current trends, collectibles, retail merchandise, fan culture, and consumer product moments
   Understand how to design for different audiences, brand voices, and customer experiences
   Concept creative merchandise that feels fresh, intentional, and brand-right
   Think big while still designing with the final product, production process, and business need in mind
   Move quickly, juggle multiple creative priorities, and adapt as needs shift
   Design across a variety of product categories, including apparel, hard goods, collectibles, packaging, displays, and promotional merchandise
   Create visuals and presentations that help clients clearly understand and get excited about an idea
   Prepare organized, production-ready files when needed

Possible Project Work
Depending on the project, freelance support may include:

Trend Research & Inspiration Boards
Researching and compiling trend boards that highlight emerging design, merchandise, collectible, and consumer trends relevant to the client, audience, and industry.

Creative Concept Development
Developing fresh, compelling creative concepts that align with a client's brand while bringing forward new ideas that can surprise, delight, and inspire purchase.

Product & Merchandise Design
Concepting and designing custom products, promotional merchandise, apparel, hard goods, collectibles, packaging, and seasonal or audience-specific product ideas. Experience with 3D files is a plus.

Product Decks & Visual Storytelling
Creating visually engaging, organized, client-ready concept decks that clearly communicate the idea, product story, design direction, and customer experience.

Production File Preparation
Preparing vendor-ready design files that meet production and decoration specifications, including file formats, color profiles, dielines, resolution, and production guidelines.

File Organization & Collaboration
Maintaining organized design files, naming conventions, folder structures, and version control so internal teams and vendor partners can collaborate efficiently.

Client Presentation Support
Presenting or helping communicate design concepts in a clear, thoughtful, and persuasive way, including explaining design decisions and incorporating feedback.

Experience That Would Be Helpful

Strong freelance partners may bring experience in one or more of the following areas:
   Merchandise design, product design, graphic design, or retail creative
   Apparel design, print production, packaging, promotional products, or hard goods
   QSR (Quick Serve Restaurant), restaurant, entertainment, sports, lifestyle, retail, or consumer brand work
   Collectibles, fan merchandise, limited-edition product drops, or promotional activations
   Adobe Creative Suite and presentation design
   Preparing production-ready files for vendors
   3D product visualization or 3D file experience, a plus

Freelance Partnership Expectations

Because this is freelance/project-based work, we are looking for individuals who:
   Are comfortable with work that is not guaranteed or consistent
   Are open to being contacted when project needs arise
   Can be clear about availability and turnaround times
   Can jump into fast-moving work when timing aligns
   Are comfortable with projects that may vary in scope, timeline, and direction
   Can work independently while staying collaborative, responsive, and organized
