Job Description
OUR QUICK INTRO
Upper Lakes Foods is the largest independent, wholesale food distributor in Minnesota. The company has three facilities located in Cloquet, MN, Northfield, MN and Janesville, WI. We distribute food throughout the Upper Midwest. Upper Lakes Foods specializes in serving foodservice operators such as independent restaurants, assisted living facilities, schools, and national and regional foodservice chain accounts with a strong focus on customer service. Simply put, the mission is to build value for each customer, employee, supplier and community we serve by bringing the best; the best products, best people and best ideas.YOUR CREATIVE RHYTHM
Your Monday-Friday flow starts by lining up priorities and deadlines, then diving into focused creative time-sketching a few directions, tightening hierarchy, and making those tiny spacing tweaks that magically make a layout click. You'll hop into quick reviews, capture notes, and keep versions tidy so nothing gets lost in the shuffle. Midday might include checking proofs, confirming specs, or chatting with a vendor to keep production smooth. Before you wrap, you'll organize files for easy handoff and set yourself up with a clear, satisfying next step for tomorrow.DESIGN THAT MOVES
