• Maintain organized design archives, swatch libraries, and material references used by the team
• Update PLM systems with accurate product and design information
• Support seasonal line reviews by preparing materials, visuals, and documentation

We’re Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in product design, product development, or technical design within home textiles, apparel, or soft goods
• Strong attention to detail and an instinct for organization
• Comfortable managing multiple development tasks and timelines simultaneously

Nice to Have

• Organized design archives and material libraries that the team can easily access
• Strong collaboration with Product Development and Production partners
