What is a Freelance Textile Print Design job?

A Freelance Textile Print Design job involves creating original patterns and prints for fabrics used in fashion, home decor, or other textile applications. As a freelancer, you work independently with clients or brands to develop unique designs based on trends, color schemes, and specific project requirements. This role requires strong artistic skills, proficiency in design software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, and knowledge of fabric printing techniques. Freelance textile print designers often balance multiple projects, manage client communication, and handle business aspects like contracts and pricing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Freelance Textile Print Design position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Freelance Textile Print Designer, you need strong artistic ability, a keen sense of color and pattern, and proficiency in textile design principles, often supported by a degree in textile or surface design. Experience with digital design software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and CAD for textiles is highly valuable, while understanding textile printing techniques is a plus. Excellent communication, time management, and client relationship skills are crucial soft skills in this freelance role. These competencies enable designers to deliver creative, high-quality work to clients within deadlines, ensuring a successful and sustainable freelance business.

What are some common challenges faced by freelance textile print designers?

Freelance textile print designers often face challenges such as managing multiple client projects simultaneously, maintaining a steady pipeline of work, and handling the business aspects of freelancing like contracts and invoicing. Balancing creative freedom with client feedback and expectations can also be demanding. Since much of the work may be remote, effective communication and clear project management are critical to success. However, overcoming these challenges helps designers build strong portfolios, develop valuable client relationships, and grow their careers in the textile and fashion industries.

THE OPPORTUNITY: Textile/Print Designer

REPORTS TO: Senior Designer

ENGAGEMENT TYPE: Project-Based Contract

LOCATION: US - Remote

Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA with an office in New York, NY, Birdy Grey supports remote work for eligible roles. This is a project-based contract engagement, not a full-time or benefits-eligible role.

Birdy Grey is seeking an experienced Textile & Print Designer for a scoped contract engagement supporting our January activation. The project involves developing 3 production-ready artworks in full repeat, each delivered across approximately 10-15 colorways (30-45 total colorway files). The ideal candidate is technically precise, highly organized, and able to work independently to deliver production-ready files on a tight timeline.

SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Develop 3 original print artworks from concept through final production-ready files
  • Execute full repeat print development to scale for each artwork, including any engineered or allover repeat structures
  • Build 10-15 colorways per artwork (30-45 total colorway files), ensuring palette alignment with seasonal direction
  • Prepare RGB files for production handoff with precise color specifications and organized file naming conventions
  • Create Jacquard and/or handloom artwork as required, translating design intent into technically accurate weave-ready files for mill partners
  • Deliver all files in agreed formats, organized and ready for vendor submission
  • Incorporate revision rounds within the scope buffer; flag any requests that fall outside the agreed deliverables
  • Communicate proactively with the Senior Designer on timeline, file status, and any technical blockers

THE RIGHT CANDIDATE: QUALIFICATIONS & PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

EDUCATION: Bachelor's Degree Required 

EXPERIENCE / REQUIREMENTS:

  • 3-5+ years of experience in textile or print design, with a portfolio demonstrating production-ready work
  • Expertise in full repeat print development to scale in Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop
  • Strong colorway development skills; proven ability to deliver high volumes of colorway files with accuracy and consistency
  • Experience preparing RGB production files for mill and vendor handoff
  • Experience developing Jacquard and/or handloom artwork, with working knowledge of weave structures
  • Solid understanding of printing techniques (digital, screen, rotary) and fabric construction
  • Highly organized with meticulous file management practices and attention to detail
  • Able to work independently and meet deadlines with minimal oversight
  • Clear, proactive communicator - surfaces issues early and comes with solutions

NICE TO HAVES:

  • Experience designing for the bridal, wedding, or special occasion market
  • Familiarity with overseas manufacturing and mill communication
  • Start-up or DTC brand experience
  • Genuine passion for bridal and fashion
