At Frame Company Minnesota, we believe every piece that comes through our doors tells a story. From Hall of Fame jerseys and military uniforms to original artwork, family heirlooms, championship medals, and treasured keepsakes, our mission is to preserve those stories with museum-quality craftsmanship that will last for generations.

We're seeking an experienced professional who shares our passion for exceptional craftsmanship and understands that every project deserves to be treated as if it were their own. If you're looking for a place where quality, creativity, and attention to detail are valued above production quotas, we'd love to meet you.

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Custom Framer with extensive experience designing and building custom shadow boxes, conservation-quality jersey displays, and museum-quality custom framing.

• Frame sports memorabilia, military uniforms, medals, flags, trading cards, photographs, tickets, pins, and other three-dimensional collectibles.
• Design visually balanced layouts that showcase each customer's story while complementing the artwork or memorabilia.
• Cut and assemble complex multi-opening mats using a Wizard computerized mat cutter.
• Build custom frames, stretch canvas, fit artwork, install glazing, and complete projects to the highest standards.
