We lead the footwear industry with a diverse portfolio of iconic brands, including Topo Athletic, Keds, Vince Camuto, Kelly & Katie, Jessica Simpson, Lucky Brand, Mix No. 6, Crown Vintage, and others. With expertise in design, production, and sourcing, we create on-trend footwear and accessories, delivered through a robust omni-channel infrastructure and national wholesale distribution.

The Opportunity
At Designer Brands, creativity isn't just encouraged-it's essential. As an Associate Designer, you'll be part of a passionate team shaping the future of Kelly & Katie shoes. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is eager to bring fresh ideas to life. You'll work closely with experienced designers and cross-functional teams to transform concepts into products that inspire confidence and style. This is a hybrid role that requires the ability to work from our NYC showroom as needed. Typically, around 3 days per week, with increased in-office time during key development periods.

Design Execution & Collaboration
  • Support sketching and specing under the guidance of senior design leaders
  • Enter and maintain accurate design specifications in internal systems
  • Prepare presentation boards and concept materials for design meetings
  • Collaborate with overseas teams to communicate design intent and updates

Technical Design & Product Development
  • Develop flat sketches and detailed tech/design packs with precision
  • Attend fittings and update sketches based on fit notes
  • Review prototypes and revise tech packs to reflect changes
  • Partner with production teams to ensure designs meet pricing and market guidelines

Seasonal Line Management
  • Work with Assistant Designers to build seasonal line sheets
  • Support sample management and showroom setup
  • Present design projects and contribute to the overall design vision

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Communicate regularly with development, production, and sales teams to ensure smooth seasonal execution
  • Anticipate and manage design deadlines to meet critical milestones
  • Travel to Columbus, Ohio office as needed

What You'll Need
We're looking for someone who's not only skilled but also curious, adaptable, and ready to grow.
Skills & Attributes
  • Strong visual and creative sensibility with the ability to sketch and CAD
  • Proficiency in Illustrator, Photoshop, and Microsoft Office Suite
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Highly organized with strong time management and attention to detail
  • Professional, flexible, and customer-focused mindset

Experience
  • 3-5 years of footwear design experience
  • Proven ability to create technical drawings, tech packs, CADs, and merchandising boards
  • Experience participating in sample fittings and corrections

Education
  • Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Merchandising, Design, or a related field (footwear, fashion, or industrial design)
