Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of experience designing softgoods for consumer products, home goods, baby/nursery, or a closely adjacent category.
Expert-level Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop skills. You use them daily to create original artwork and build clean, production-ready technical drawings.
Strong tech pack creation skills. You build complete packs from scratch, not from templates someone else made.
Deep knowledge of textiles and materials including fabrics, fills, weaves, thread counts, trims, and how they behave in production.
Experience with textile sourcing, including mill relationships, material specifications, and supply chain awareness.
Hands-on experience working with offshore manufacturing partners, reviewing samples, and redlining with precision.
A wide design range. You are equally comfortable designing into a clean, modern nursery aesthetic, an approachable traditional bedroom, and a layered maximalist interior.
Sharp eye for color, pattern, composition, and surface design.
Strong communication skills. You can present your work clearly and advocate for your design decisions.
You’re able to manage a project by creating a schedule, tracking milestones and key decisions, understanding who needs to be updated, breaking bad news when necessary, and most importantly celebrating wins with the team!
