We’re seeking a creative and technically skilled Associate Designer to join our Lounge and Fully Fashioned Knits team. In this role, you’ll support the design and development of new products, contributing to both seasonal collections and ongoing style improvements. You’ll work closely with cross-functional partners in Technical Design, Product Development, and Production to bring each concept from sketch to finished prototype.

This position is an individual contributor role that offers hands-on experience across the full design process, from CAD sketching and tech pack creation to color and material selection.

What You’ll Do:

• Assist in creating product designs and achieving desired style, appearance, and fit characteristics for new and existing products.
• Produce CAD illustrations, technical sketches, and detailed tech packs using Centric PLM and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Contribute to concept development, color stories, fabric selection, and trend research.
• Shop the retail market for inspiration and stay current on lounge and knitwear trends.
• Partner closely with Technical Design to ensure the proper fit, function, and aesthetic of prototypes.
• Support design hand-offs, sample reviews, and design documentation.
• Collaborate with team members to meet deadlines and maintain brand design standards.

Experience & Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree in Fashion or Apparel Design, or equivalent experience.
• 2–3 years of design experience, ideally in lounge, sleepwear, or knit categories.
• Strong CAD illustration skills and proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Experience with tech pack creation and understanding of garment construction (lounge, sleep, fully fashioned knits).
• Familiarity with Centric PLM and the product development lifecycle.
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Soft Skills:

• Detail-oriented, proactive, and organized.
• Easy-going and collaborative, comfortable working cross-functionally.
• Strong communication skills and ability to take feedback constructively.
