Job Description: The Assistant Designer & Product Developer will support the Creative Director in all aspects of the design and development process for ready-to-wear, footwear, and accessories collections. This role is ideal for someone who combines a creative eye with strong technical skills — someone who understands how to translate design vision into production-ready product.

You should have a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, an understanding of materials and construction, and the ability to create detailed tech packs that clearly communicate design intent to factories and vendors.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design process from concept through final development, including research, sketching, and creation of detailed technical drawings.
• Maintain design boards, color stories, and seasonal reference materials.
• Create and update comprehensive tech packs including detailed specs, measurements, construction details, and BOMs.
• Participate in fittings and sample reviews, taking detailed notes and managing revisions.
• Communicate with patternmakers, sample rooms, and vendors to ensure accurate execution of design intent.
• Manage development timelines and sample tracking across multiple categories.
• Source and organize fabrics, trims, and hardware; maintain material libraries and supplier contacts.
• Collaborate with domestic and international vendors to ensure quality, fit, and design accuracy.
• Review samples and prototypes, providing feedback to align product with brand standards.
• Support costing, production preparation, and line development through accurate data management and organization.
• Maintain organized digital files, including tech packs, design sketches, and material libraries.
• Assist with collection presentations, lookbook shoots, and sales materials.
• Provide administrative support to help keep the design and production calendar on track.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, Product Development, or related field preferred.
• 2–4 years of experience in fashion design or product development (contemporary, luxury, or designer brand experience preferred).
• Proven experience creating detailed tech packs from sketch through production handoff.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Microsoft Excel (or PLM systems).
• Strong knowledge of garment construction, patternmaking, and materials.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a small, hands-on team environment.
• Passion for thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and quality.

Personal Qualities

• Creative and detail-oriented with a refined aesthetic sensibility.
• Self-starter who thrives in a collaborative, independent brand setting.
• Respect for process and integrity in design.
