Graphic Design Manager

Company Overview

Frank & Eileen was born in 2009 when former engineer Audrey McLoghlin sought to reinvent the button-up for women — a category previously focused solely on men. Inspired by Audrey’s Irish grandparents—our brand namesakes, Frank & Eileen—we have grown slowly and intentionally from our best-Italian-fabric-in-the-world-obsessed beginnings. Now a globally recognized fashion brand, Frank & Eileen is a certified woman-owned, woman-led B Corp business that has retained 100% ownership while working with the same ethical, sustainable manufacturers for over a decade. Our mission is to model and support entrepreneurship as a force for good—all from our family-friendly HQ in sunny California.
