Textile Print and Embellishment Designer About Us

We are a fast-growing fashion design and development company specializing in swimwear and apparel for some of the largest retailers in the country. We are a highly creative, collaborative team passionate about building best-in-class product that is trend-right, commercially relevant, and beautifully executed.

Our culture is energetic, hands-on, and team-oriented. We work hard, move quickly, and have a lot of fun along the way. We believe great product comes from great people, and we are committed to fostering talented designers, encouraging collaboration, and creating an environment where people can grow, contribute big ideas, and be proud of what they bring to market.
