Vice Versa Convertible Heels — Freelance Art Director (Part-Time)

Location: NYC-based, mostly remote with occasional in-person for shoots and collaborative meetings

Rate: $50–150/hour depending on experience

Contract: Ongoing

About the Role

We're a growing footwear brand looking for a freelance Art Director to own the visual direction of our shoots—from concept through execution. You'll work closely with the founder but have significant creative autonomy. This is a part-time, flexible role suited for someone who thrives in scrappy startup environments and knows how to make things look elevated without a massive budget.

What You'll Do

Develop concepts and mood boards for campaigns and e-commerce shoots
Plan shot lists and oversee creative direction on set
Book studios and handle light production coordination
Source and manage relationships with photographers and models (existing network preferred, or willingness to build one)
Mock up concepts using Gemini and Canva
Execute a range of work from simple product photography to larger brand campaigns

What We're Looking For

Based in NYC with availability for occasional in-person work
Experience directing shoots across e-commerce and campaign styles
Comfortable with lean productions—resourceful, organized, self-directed
Eye for refined, luxurious aesthetics
Familiar with AI tools (Gemini) and design platforms (Canva)

Details

Project volume: approximately one shoot every other month
Reports to: Founder
Creative collaboration is central, but you'll have room to run with ideas
