My client believes life’s too short for boring socks.\n\nThey 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.\n\nIf you dream in patterns, geek out over yarns, and can spot a Pantone chip from 10 feet away, we want you on our team.\n\nWhat You’ll Do\n\nYou’ll be our in-house textile wizard — designing socks that look amazing, feel incredible, and tell a story with every step.\n\nYour day-to-day might include:\n\n * Sketching and developing bold, beautiful, or downright quirky knit patterns.\n\n * Building colour palettes that make people say “wow.”\n\n * Turning creative concepts into production-ready tech packs that factories can actually knit.\n\n * Keeping one eye on fashion and lifestyle trends — and another on what’s next.\n\n * Collaborating with designers, product developers, and suppliers to make sure your ideas come to life exactly as you imagined.\n\n * Pushing the boundaries of what socks can be — in design, function, and sustainability.\n\nWhat You Bring\n\n * A degree in Textile Design, Fashion, Knitwear, or something equally creative.\n\n * 2+ years’ experience designing textiles — bonus points if you’ve worked with knits, hosiery, or performance wear.\n\n * Strong command of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and (ideally) textile CAD software\n\n * Solid understanding of knitting techniques, yarns, and colour theory.\n\n * A killer eye for trends and a unique design voice.\n\n * The ability to juggle multiple projects and meet deadlines without losing your sparkle.\n\nWho You Are\n\n * You’re a creative thinker who isn’t afraid to take risks.\n\n * You’re obsessed with detail (because the toe seam matters).\n\n * You love colour, pattern, and good vibes.\n\n * You thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.\n\n * You believe great design can make people happy — even if it’s “just socks.”\n\nWhat You’ll Get\n\n * Competitive salary based on experience.\n\n * A supportive team that loves brainstorming, coffee, and the occasional sock pun.\n\n * Access to top-notch design tools and trend resources.\n\nReady to knock our socks off?\nSend us your portfolio, CV, and a note about what inspires your designs.\nLet’s make something amazing — one pair at a time
