What are the most common challenges faced by textile print designers when collaborating with production teams?

Textile print designers often encounter challenges in translating digital or hand-drawn designs into physical fabrics while working with production teams. Color matching, scale adjustments, and ensuring that patterns repeat seamlessly on various textiles can require close coordination and compromise. Regular communication with production is essential to address technical limitations of printing methods and fabric types, ensuring the final product matches the original vision. Designers who build strong collaborative relationships with production staff tend to achieve better outcomes and fewer costly revisions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Textile Print Designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Textile Print Designer, you need strong skills in pattern design, color theory, and knowledge of textile materials, typically supported by a degree in textile or surface design. Proficiency with digital design software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and CAD systems is essential for creating and refining print patterns. Creativity, attention to detail, and effective communication are important soft skills for collaborating with teams and interpreting client needs. These skills ensure the creation of innovative and marketable textile prints that meet both aesthetic and production standards.

What is textile print design?

Textile print design is the process of creating patterns, images, or motifs that are applied to fabric surfaces through various printing techniques. Designers use digital tools or traditional methods to develop visually appealing prints that enhance the aesthetic value of textiles used in fashion, interior design, and other industries. The role often involves trend research, color theory, and collaboration with manufacturers to ensure the designs are both creative and technically feasible for production.

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.

  • 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

  • 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
