  • Partner cross-functionally with product development, raw materials, colour, merchandising, sourcing, and design operations to ensure cohesion from idea to execution
  • Create clear, expressive design assets—concept sketches, CADs, tech packs, and BOMs—that support premium product outcomes
  • Engage in key reviews and feedback moments, translating insight into thoughtful design evolution
  • Champion the balance of aesthetics, comfort, and support that feels confident, modern, and considered
  • Apply colour and graphics across new, core, and carryover styles, with sensitivity to material behavior, technical feasibility, and commercial intent

Requirements

  • A strong foundation in what's in trend, with an intuitive understanding of design, trends, and culture
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, iterative environment—open to feedback and energized by collaboration
  • A curious, exploratory mindset, driven by materiality, innovation, and problem-solving
  • Highly organized and solution-driven
  • Knowledge of pattern drafting, garment construction, and sewing wovens as well as knits
  • Clear visual and verbal communication skills
  • A commitment to inclusive, thoughtful design—creating products that feels supportive and empowering on diverse bodies
  • Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator for technical sketching and Photoshop/generative AI for visual storytelling
  • A refined eye for proportion, detail, and balance, aligned with a modern, elevated brand aesthetic
  • 0-2 years of design experience, ideally with internship experience
  • Strong sketching and CAD skills
  • proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop)
  • Interest in 3D design tools and emerging technologies, including generative AI
