Role Overview:
We are looking for a Senior Designer to lead the design vision for our Mookuthi collection and see it through to a sellable, production-ready product. This is a hands-on role that owns the full journey — from research and inspiration through to a finished piece in the hands of our artisans and manufacturing partners. The ideal candidate is detail-obsessed, self-driven, and equally comfortable presenting concepts to the founder, sketching and building mood boards, and working directly on an artisan's workshop floor.
Key Responsibility
- Source inspiration from traditional South Indian temple jewellery, contemporary references, textiles, architecture, and nature.
- Research the theme, history, and cultural significance of Mookuthi, including time spent with artisans to study traditional techniques and regional detailing.
- Build structured mood boards that capture the story, motif language, and material palette of a collection.
- Explore early form generation, rough sketches, and silhouette studies that translate mood boards into wearable directions.




- Create detailed design documentation that captures every minute detail of the concept, so it can be handed off cleanly at any later stage.
- Develop original, refined Mookuthi design concepts that reflect the brand's identity
- Prepare clean, presentable design decks for internal review.
- Present design concepts and mood boards to the founder for review, incorporate feedback, and secure final approval before any design moves forward.
- Balance brand aesthetic with what's commercially and technically feasible.
- Work with the CAD Designer to pressure-test construction feasibility and refine technical drawings.
- Resolve design-to-manufacture gaps before a piece goes to artisans - fit, weight, stone placement, mechanism.
- Keep design files and specs updated as the piece evolves through this stage.
- Own the path to execution end-to-end: travel to artisan workshops as needed, and brief karigars and manufac
