Assistant Womenswear Designer

Marea by Liz Joy
Fairfield, CT

Marea is a small, fast-moving women's apparel brand and we're growing. We're looking for an Assistant Womenswear Designer who is eager to learn, ready to contribute from day one, and excited to be part of a tight-knit team where your work genuinely matters. You'll touch every part of the design process — and we want someone who leans in, asks questions, and gets things done.


What You'll Do

  • Work side by side with the design team across all categories, concept through production
  • Create apparel sketches and technical illustrations in Adobe Illustrator
  • Build and maintain tech packs with precision
  • Attend fittings and write clear, detailed fit notes
  • Assist in fabric, color, and trim selection
  • Keep projects organized as priorities shift — and they will
  • Jump in wherever you're needed; on a small team, everyone pitches in


What You Bring

  • 1–2 years of industry experience in apparel design
  • Proficiency in Adobe Suite, especially Illustrator
  • Working knowledge of apparel construction and tech packs
  • Sharp eye for color, fabric, and detail
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
  • Collaborative to the core — you communicate openly and show up for the team
  • Genuine hunger to learn and grow in a fast-paced environment


Bonus: Knitwear and sweater design experience a plus!
