Silhouette UK Design Team Call 2019

The Silhouette UK blog has been running for almost 3 years now, we have learnt lots together and are ready to dive in for another 12 months of amazing projects and tutorials – why don’t you join us?

We are looking for around 10 people to make up the team, the bigger the range of experience between them the better, so if your style is a little quirky don’t let that put you off applying!

We are looking for people with different machines from within the Silhouette range and that enjoy a challenge with different products. Machines include Mint, Alta, Cameo, Curio and Portrait.
You will be expected to edit your own step by step and project photos and write a blog post in the blogger interface for each blog project, in keeping it with a certain style.  We are also looking for people who enjoy making video tutorials, so if blogging is not your thing don’t be put off, we can turn your video tutorials into a blog post.
