Job Description

Location : Los Angeles, CA Job Type : Full-Time Salary Range : $90,000 - $120,000 per year

The "Vibe" of the Role

We have the function covered—we know our gear is safe and escape-proof. Now, we need you to make it beautiful.

We are looking for a Senior Designer with a strong Creative Direction background to elevate the aesthetic of our brand. You will be the guardian of our visual style, ensuring that every harness, vest, and sweater we release feels cohesive, current, and premium. You aren't just designing a product; you are defining a lifestyle for the modern dog owner.

Key Responsibilities

Creative Direction & Brand Storytelling

  • Set the Visual Vision: Create seasonal mood boards that define the "vibe" of the collection. You will decide the color stories, prints, and material textures for the season.
  • The "Look" of the Line: Ensure that a harness bought today looks perfect with a leash bought next year. You are responsible for the aesthetic cohesion across all categories (Soft Goods and Apparel).
  • Trend Forecasting: Keep a pulse on human fashion trends (streetwear, gorpcore, minimalism) and translate them into pet products. You tell us why "Sage Green" is the color of the season.

Aesthetic Product Design

  • Design with Texture & Color: You will choose the materials based on look and feel—selecting the perfect matte-finish webbing, the softest fleece, or the most vibrant neons.
  • Silhouette & Styling: Design apparel that makes a statement. You focus on the cut, the drape, and the details (zipper pulls, logo placement, trim contrast).
  • Collaboration: You sketch the vision , then partner with our Technical Developer to make it work. You say, "I want this harness to look seamless," and they figure out the stitch pattern to support it.

Visuals & Marketing Support

  • Styling Direction: Guide the "look" of our photoshoots. You help decide which dog breeds model which colors and how the product is styled to create that "Instagrammable" moment.
  • Elevated Tech Packs: Create design sheets that focus on visual details—specifying exact Pantone colors, logo sizing, and label placement.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Experience: 5+ years in Apparel or Accessories Design with a portfolio that proves you have impeccable taste .
  • Strong Aesthetic Eye: You understand color theory, typography, and composition. You know how to make a simple product look expensive.
  • Trend Awareness: You don't just follow trends; you anticipate them. You know what's happening in culture and how to apply it to our brand.
  • Adobe Creative Suite: You can create beautiful, presentation-ready sketches and renderings (Illustrator/Photoshop) that get the team excited.
  • Soft Skills: You can articulate why a design works. You can explain your creative choices to non-creatives clearly.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $90,000 – $120,000 (Based on experience)
  • Retirement: 401(k) Plan
  • Health: Medical Insurance

Please submit:

  1. Resume.
  2. Portfolio (MANDATORY): We need to see your Taste Level .
  • Show us Mood Boards : How do you start a collection?
  • Show us Color Palettes : How do you combine colors?
  • Show us Final Products : Things you designed that look amazing.
  • (Note: We care less about your ability to calculate stitch density and more about your ability to create a "Look").
