Web Graphic Designer full-time

Rudsak was founded in Montreal, Canada in 1994 by its visionary and creative leader Evik Asatoorian. Since its launch, Rudsak has grown into one of Canada’s leading fashion brands synonymous with quality and craftsmanship, a modern lifestyle brand consisting of timeless fashion outerwear, footwear, handbags and accessories for men and women. Rudsak’s aesthetic merges a contemporary and timeless look - James Dean’s rebellious allure and Audrey Hepburn’s pristine elegance have inspired Evik throughout the years.

Born as a true Canadian within the heart of Montreal, Quebec- Rudsak has nurtured the province with a growing retail and wholesale presence. Our flagship store on St-Laurent Boulevard is our reference in terms of brand experience: A cool place equipped with an atelier shoemaker and café that captures the ‘spirit of cool rebel’.

With the continuous guidance of Evik, this leading Canadian fashion brand continues to grow rapidly, satisfying customer demand across Canada and the United States. Bottom line...with international appeal, Rudsak is at the starting gate to take on the rest of the world as we prepare to celebrate our 20 years of success in 2014.
