Job description

Associate Women's Apparel Designer Duffield Lane · Grand Rapids, MI · On-site · Full-time

Duffield Lane is a women's coastal and lake lifestyle apparel brand, born out of a love for the water, warm-weather style, and the easy, insider feeling of a favorite summer place. We've been in business for 13 years, with a strong wholesale presence in 300 specialty boutiques alongside a rapidly growing ecommerce and custom sweater business. We're headquartered in Grand Rapids, where our full team, shipping and fulfillment, sales, marketing, and design, works under one roof. It's a fun, energetic, entrepreneurial team, and we're excited about where we're headed.

About the role

We're looking for an Associate Designer to grow into a full design role over time. You'll start by owning process-driven design work independently, then build your creative and technical range through hands-on mentorship as you take on more responsibility. This is an in-office role (occasional WFH) working closely with our in-house fabric library and design team. For the right person, this role is a real path toward owning a full category as our next Designer, working alongside our Lead Designer, as our team continues to grow.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain tech packs, track and organize samples, and check production against spec
  • Create design mockups for our custom sweater program in Photoshop
  • Support fit sessions and help process fit comments
  • Handle routine factory follow-ups on sampling and approvals
  • Assist with photo editing for product and marketing imagery
  • Grow into concept sketching, CADs, direct factory communication, and independent ownership of a category over time

What we're looking for

  • 2-4 years of apparel design or technical design experience
  • Proficiency in Illustrator and Photoshop
  • Comfortable with tech packs, spec sheets, and garment measurement
  • Solid sketching fundamentals with room to grow toward construction-accurate, realistic sketching
  • Able to work independently on process-driven tasks
  • Knitwear or children's apparel experience a plus

Compensation: Commensurate with experience

  • To apply: Please include a portfolio or work samples showing your sketching and technical design work alongside your resume. Portfolios can be emailed to info@duffieldlane.com
