Creative Director, Clothing (Clothing Designer)
About the Role
We’re looking for a Creative Director, Clothing to own and evolve our company’s apparel and merchandise—from concept to production. This role blends creative vision, hands-on design, and brand storytelling, ensuring our merch feels intentional, elevated, and aligned with our company identity.

What You’ll Do
- Define and own the creative vision for all company apparel and merchandise
- Design original clothing pieces (e.g., tees, hoodies, outerwear, accessories) that reflect our brand aesthetic

- Create sketches, mockups, and technical specs for production
- Work with manufacturers and vendors on sampling, revisions, costing, and production timelines
- Ensure quality control across fit, materials, and final execution
- Stay current on fashion, streetwear, and lifestyle apparel trends while maintaining a timeless brand feel
- 5+ years of experience in clothing design, apparel design, or fashion creative direction
- Strong portfolio demonstrating original apparel design (not just graphic merch)
- Experience taking garments from concept → production
- Strong understanding of fabrics, construction, and fit
- Ability to balance creative vision with practical constraints (budget, timelines, manufacturing)
- Clear point of view and taste level—knows when merch feels elevated vs. generic
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving startup environment
Nice to Have
- Experience with brand merch programs for tech, lifestyle, or consumer brands
- Knowledge of sustainable or ethical manufacturing practices
- Experience with small-batch or limited-run drops
- Background in streetwear, contemporary, or lifestyle apparel
