Want to get out of Chicago? Our last two fabulous part-timers, Jen and Amy each worked with us for a good while and then eventually decided to pick up and move, one to the West Coast and one to the East. Maybe you're next? We need a person to help us with shipping and fulfillment at our studio west of the Loop in the Fulton Market area. It's not a design job, it's approximately three days a week working on Field Notes and various other projects. It's a laid back, fun place to work and lunch is always awesome on Thursdays.
