"Join a much-loved home textiles design studio that very rarely recruits”
THE COMPANY
A much-loved Manchester-based home textiles design studio. They hardly ever recruit but have a vacancy available due to one of their designers taking a break for maternity leave. They design both digitally and through hand-painting and are one of only a few studios that encourages taking time to explore and handpaint. They are leaders in their industry and supply a range of highstreet accounts across adults, teens, kids and nursery textiles. Free onsite parking and a very generous hybrid working split.
THE ROLE
* Creating original print designs for bedding ranges across multiple retailer accounts
* Translating macro trends into commercially viable designs
* Handpainting and drawing original designs for adult, teen, kids and nursery bedding
* Using AVA to produce repeats, colour separations, and print files
* Guiding junior designers and giving constructive feedback when needed
ABOUT YOU
* Previous experience in home textiles design
* A flair for hand painting and creating original artwork
* AVA skills
* A portfolio that shows a wide variety of handwriting
* Confidence in trend research and the ability to lead your own creative direction
* Driving license and access to a car
THE REWARD
This is a rare opportunity to join a business that hardly ever hires. You’ll be part of a super lovely design team led by an experienced Design Manager. Yes, it’s a maternity cover, but it’s 12months with a leading studio that’s great for the CV, and while there are no promises, there’s always the chance it could turn into something more permanent. You’ll benefit from free onsite parking and after a short settling-in period, a very generous hybrid working setup.
