  • Design Research: The Design Assistant will study the homewares category to learn what people want, not just what other brands are offering. They will also pull references from other textile driven industries-if relevant-to underscore a concept.
  • Samples: The Design Assistant will help organize and track sample developments, communicating from time to time with vendors to either receive updates or provide instruction.
  • Marketing Projects: The Design Assistant will assist the Marketing team in organizing or gathering samples for photoshoots, if requested.
