Company: MATE the Label

Job Title: Digital Designer

Location: Los Angeles, CA — Hybrid (3 days/week in office)

About Us

MATE the Label is a Los Angeles–based clean essentials brand committed to creating thoughtfully designed clothing made from natural and organic materials. Built on the belief that what we wear matters, MATE focuses on non-toxic fibers, responsible manufacturing, and timeless design.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an experienced Digital Designer who can help translate our brand vision into compelling digital experiences across marketing, e-commerce, and storytelling.

Role Overview

MATE  is seeking a talented Digital Designer to help bring our creative vision to life across every brand touchpoint. This role is responsible for the design execution and visual storytelling of campaigns, content, and site experience — spanning email, social (organic and paid), print, site updates, some packaging, and IRL moments.

This is a highly collaborative, hands-on role for a designer who thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. You’ll partner closely with the Creative and Brand team, working cross-functionally to translate ideas into thoughtful, elevated design that feels distinctly MATE.

The ideal candidate has strong aesthetic judgment, sharp attention to detail, and a clear point of view — grounded in brand systems but confident enough to push them forward.
