  • Create technical drawings, 3D models and prototypes to communicate and validate design intent
  • Oversee supplier and manufacturer coordination, supporting quality control and feasibility assessments
  • Keep up to date with trends in product, material innovation, design culture, and contemporary interiors
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, meeting both creative and technical deadlines

  Requirements

  • Minimum 1/2 years of experience in Textile design or industrial design
  • Proven experience in developing physical products from concept to production
  • Strong knowledge of design processes, materials, manufacturing methods, and technical development

  • Strong project management and communication skills
  • Ability to collaborate across disciplines and liaise with clients, suppliers, and technical partners
