We’re looking for a freelance / contract apparel designer who lives and breathes bold, modern design — and knows how to turn ideas into killer repeat patterns for performance apparel.

If you’re the type of designer who gets excited about turning brand stories into wearable art, keep reading.

About the Work

You’ll help design custom, all-over patterned apparel for brands across industries. Our pieces include:

What You’ll Be Doing

Creating seamless repeat patterns in Adobe Illustrator
Designing vector icon systems based on a client’s industry, brand, or story
Developing all-over apparel graphics for sublimation and performance fabrics
Preparing production-ready vector files (clean layers, swatches, repeats, Pantone references)
Collaborating with our team to translate brand direction into wearable designs
Iterating quickly based on feedback from clients and internal creative direction

What Makes You a Great Fit

We’re looking for a true design rockstar who has:

Strong experience with Adobe Illustrator (this is a must)
A portfolio showing repeat patterns, textile graphics, or all-over prints
Ability to build clean, scalable vector artwork
A great eye for layout, spacing, and pattern balance
Experience designing for apparel, textiles, or surface design (huge plus)
Understanding of how designs translate onto garments (seams, scale, flow)
Ability to work independently and hit deadlines

Bonus points if you’ve worked on:

Performance or athletic apparel
Sublimation printing
Brand-driven icon systems
