My client believes life’s too short for boring socks.

They are a team of colour-loving, texture-obsessed, comfort-driven creators on a mission to make the world’s best socks — the kind that make people smile when they put them on in the morning.

If you dream in patterns, geek out over yarns, and can spot a Pantone chip from 10 feet away, we want you on our team.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be our in-house textile wizard — designing socks that look amazing, feel incredible, and tell a story with every step.

Your day-to-day might include:

* Sketching and developing bold, beautiful, or downright quirky knit patterns.

* Building colour palettes that make people say “wow.”

* Turning creative concepts into production-ready tech packs that factories can actually knit.

* Keeping one eye on fashion and lifestyle trends — and another on what’s next.

* Collaborating with designers, product developers, and suppliers to make sure your ideas come to life exactly as you imagined.

* Pushing the boundaries of what socks can be — in design, function, and sustainability.

What You Bring

* A degree in Textile Design, Fashion, Knitwear, or something equally creative.

* 2+ years’ experience designing textiles — bonus points if you’ve worked with knits, hosiery, or performance wear.

* Strong command of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and (ideally) textile CAD software

* Solid understanding of knitting techniques, yarns, and colour theory.

* A killer eye for trends and a unique design voice.

* The ability to juggle multiple projects and meet deadlines without losing your sparkle.

Who You Are

* You’re a creative thinker who isn’t afraid to take risks.

* You’re obsessed with detail (because the toe seam matters).

* You love colour, pattern, and good vibes.

* You thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.

* You believe great design can make people happy — even if it’s “just socks.”

What You’ll Get

* Competitive salary based on experience.

* A supportive team that loves brainstorming, coffee, and the occasional sock pun.

* Access to top-notch design tools and trend resources.
