About This Role
Fashion designers who thrive at the intersection of technical execution and creative storytelling will find this role a dynamic position.

Responsibilities
- Research global trends, consumer behavior, and innovative materials to pitch cohesive, inspiring collection concepts
- Develop mood boards, color palettes, and textile directions that align with the brand's core aesthetic
- Translate abstract concepts into commercially viable, high-performance apparel designs
- Create precise initial patterns and drape prototypes to establish fit intent and garment architecture
- Develop comprehensive, production-ready Tech Packs including detailed CAD sketches, construction specifications, Bill of Materials (BOM), and graded measurement charts
- Collaborate closely with manufacturing vendors to oversee sample iterations, ensuring impeccable fit, functionality, and quality control
- Illustrate high-quality, evocative lookbooks and line sheets for internal alignment and external marketing
- Collaborate on the creative direction of product shoots, ensuring the design's intent translates perfectly to digital media
- Bridge the gap between design and community by helping curate and manage social media presence (Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest)
- Create engaging "behind-the-scenes" content highlighting the design process, sustainability efforts, fabric testing, and pattern making to build brand authenticity
- Ensure all digital content aligns seamlessly with the aesthetic and voice of the current collections
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Apparel Tech, or a related field
- 2+ years of proven experience in fashion design, technical design, or pattern making (experience in premium or performance apparel is a major plus)

- Expertise in garment construction, fabric performance, and creating flawless tech packs
- Strong portfolio demonstrating flawless technical sketches, hand or digital illustrations, and successfully launched apparel pieces
- Strong understanding of social media algorithms, content creation tools (CapCut, Canva), and short-form video trends
- Impeccable attention to detail: essential for drafting flawless technical patterns, catching minor discrepancies in sample iterations, and ensuring tech packs are 100% accurate before they hit the factory floor
- Sharp memory and focus: ability to track multiple sample revisions, vendor feedback, and design adjustments across various sizing ranges simultaneously without losing sight of the collection's overall vision
