  • Collaborate with internal print designers to implement feedback and revisions.
  • Ensure consistency of aesthetic from concept through final execution.
  • Manage multiple briefs simultaneously while meeting set timelines and project milestones.

  • 5+ years of experience in textile or print design for apparel; mass retail experience is a plus.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop and Illustrator.
  • Strong knowledge of textile repeat building and production standards.
  • Ability to manage layered digital files and provide organized, clean handoffs.
  • Experience creating and managing tech packs and communicating with factories.
