Job description

About KREWE
KREWE is an independent, high-fashion eyewear brand rooted in the vibrant culture and boundless creativity of our hometown, New Orleans - and now proudly headquartered in both New Orleans and New York City. Since our launch in 2013, KREWE has grown into a dynamic brand celebrated for its distinctive, handcrafted sun and optical frames that reflect a deep commitment to quality, individuality, and design.
In 2022, we opened the doors to our NYC headquarters in the heart of the Meatpacking District, building a second home for the brand that brings New Orleans' culture, creativity, and energy to one of the world's most iconic design capitals. Our presence now spans brick-and-mortar boutiques, mobile retail concepts, and a thriving e-commerce platform - alongside distribution through premier independents and top national retailers. Celebrated for our unique approach to design, KREWE has cultivated a loyal following among style-conscious consumers and influential tastemakers.
As we continue to expand, we're looking for passionate, driven, and innovative individuals to join our talented team. At KREWE our work is fast-paced, collaborative, and deeply mission-driven. Our people are high-performing and ambitious - not just about hitting goals, but about building something that's original, culturally rooted and globally resonant. Every team member at KREWE has the opportunity to own their role and make a lasting impact. If this sounds like the right environment for you we invite you to apply below.
We are currently searching for an Eyewear Designer to expand the department's design capacity while leading its understanding of future product, color, and trend opportunity. This individual will carry that point of view through product completion, coordinating input from across the design team rather than generating it alone. The Junior Product Designer will own non-frame development end to end including briefing, and the standing collaboration with Marketing on channel needs. This role reports to Senior Product Designer.
This role is based in our New Orleans Headquarters with periodic travel to New York.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Supports the end-to-end design and development of new products, from concept through production.
  • Researches trends, color, materials, and consumer insights to support the identification of future product opportunities.
  • Develops seasonal color palettes and product concepts aligned with the brand's design direction.
  • Owns the design and development of non-frame products, ensuring projects are delivered on time and to quality standards.
  • Creates clear design briefs and coordinates cross-functional input throughout the product development process.
  • Partners closely with Marketing to develop products that support campaign, merchandising, and channel needs.
  • Prepares sketches, renderings, specifications, and presentation materials to communicate design intent.
  • Collaborates with Product Development, Sourcing, and external vendors to refine designs and resolve production challenges.
  • Maintains organized product documentation, samples, and development timelines.
  • Supports the Senior Product Designer in building a consistent, scalable product design process while contributing fresh ideas and creative solutions.

Requirements:
  • 2-6 years of eyewear development experience, with demonstrated forecasting and merchandising judgement.
  • Experience with Adobe suite preferred
  • Entrepreneurial spirit and drive.
  • Highly organized and proactive in creating and maintaining processes and systems.
  • Result driven, detail oriented individual, with an ability to work independently in a high-performance environment.
  • Focus on delivering individual goals that ladder up to overall company goals.
  • As part of the design and decision process, comfort with trying on frames and documenting fit through modeling of the product.

Benefits and Perks:
  • Competitive wage
  • Group health plans: health, vision and dental insurance
  • Welfare benefits: life, ad&d, supplemental voluntary coverage
  • FSA Plan & HSA Program
  • 401(K) Investment Options
  • Adoption Assistance, EAP, Commuter Benefits
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Quarterly Cultural Spend
  • Ongoing Training and Development, an Educational Allowance
  • 10 paid holidays and Paid Time Off accrual
  • KREWE employee quarterly frame allowance (of course!)

Diversity and Inclusion:
KREWE believes in providing an inclusive workplace where all individuals have the opportunity to succeed. We are proud to provide equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants without discrimination or retaliation because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, pregnancy or any other protected characteristic as established by applicable local, state, or federal law.
