Freelance Fashion / Product Developer Designer
Location: Remote
Job Type: Freelance
About the Role
We are looking for a highly organized and technically skilled Freelance Fashion / Product Developer Designer to join our team remotely. In this role, you are the critical bridge between our creative design team and our overseas/domestic manufacturing partners.
Since we operate 100% remotely, your success depends on your ability to translate ideas into flawless digital blueprints, manage factory relationships via email and video calls, and self-manage your workflow across different time zones. You will not just draw; you will engineer garments for commercial production.
Key Responsibilities
1. Technical Development
- Translate initial creative sketches and mood boards into highly detailed digital Tech Packs (using Adobe Illustrator, CLO 3D, or Excel) that include graded specs, construction callouts, stitch types, and trim details.
- Research, recommend, and source appropriate fabrics, hardware,
and wash finishes that match the design intent while meeting cost and sustainability targets.
- Conduct remote fit sessions (via Zoom/Teams), providing transparent digital comments and photos to factories on pattern adjustments and construction fixes.
2. Remote Factory & Vendor Communication
- Serve as the main point of contact for our manufacturing partners via email, WhatsApp, and scheduled video conferences.
- Negotiate pricing, lead times, and minimum order quantities (MOQs) remotely.
- Troubleshoot production issues in real-time by reviewing factory-reported problems through shared digital files (Google Drive, Dropbox) and providing immediate solutions.
3. Project & Timeline Management
- Own the production calendar from sample stage to bulk delivery, ensuring all milestones are met despite geographic distances.
- Proactively flag potential delays (e.g., fabric shortages, sample failures) to the internal team using project management tools (e.g., Asana, Trello, or Slack).
