We’re Hiring | Design Assistant
Raali is looking for a Design Assistant to join our creative team in Jodhpur.
We’re looking for a fashion/textile designer with a strong creative sensibility who is excited by Indian textiles, craft and the process of developing products from an idea into a finished piece.
This is a hands-on design role where you’ll work closely with the creative team on research, concept development, print and motif design, colour stories, collection development, sampling and product development.
What you’ll do
- Work closely with the creative team on the design and development of new collections and products.
- Develop prints, motifs, patterns, colour stories and textile layouts in line with Raali’s design language.
- Research Indian crafts, textiles, techniques, materials and local traditions, and translate this research into design ideas and collection concepts.
- Create moodboards, visual research, colour stories and collection/range plans.
- Sketch and develop design concepts and create digital renderings.
- Explore different ways of translating ideas into textiles and products through fabric, print, embroidery, appliqué, patchwork and other craft techniques.
- Visit local craft clusters and work directly with artisans to experiment, sample and develop potential products.
- Participate actively in the sampling and product development process, refining designs and documenting changes as they evolve.
- Develop and maintain product specifications, measurement sheets and tech packs as designs move towards production.
- Document the creative process, including studio work, sampling, craft techniques and finished products, through photographs and videos.
- Photograph and film samples and final products using a phone, and create simple visual content for Raali’s digital platforms.
- Create presentations and straightforward social media assets using Canva.
- Use Excel/Google Sheets to keep track of samples, design development and other relevant information.
