Jewelry Designer​/Generative Design Specialist

Tanya Creations is seeking an AI-first jewelry designer to help redefine how we develop fashion jewelry.

We are looking for a designer who combines strong creative judgment and fashion sensibility with exceptional proficiency in generative AI tools. The successful candidate will use AI as a core part of the design process to rapidly research trends, develop concepts, create product variations, visualize collections and translate ideas into commercially viable fashion jewelry.

The objective is simple:
develop better product, explore significantly more ideas, and move from concept to market substantially faster than is possible through a traditional manual design process.

The position can be based in Tanya Creations' Rhode Island office or Unique Designs' New Jersey office.

• Use generative AI tools to create new fashion-jewelry concepts, collections, variations, colorways and merchandising stories.
• Translate trend direction, retailer briefs, competitive products and existing best sellers into commercially viable new designs.
• Rapidly generate and evaluate multiple design directions rather than relying primarily on manual sketching.
• Refine AI-generated concepts into accurate, realistic designs that can be understood and executed by product-development and manufacturing teams.

• Design specifically for the customer, price point, consumer and manufacturing constraints - not simply for aesthetic appeal.
• Work with sales, merchandising and product-development teams on programs for major retailers, licensed brands and e-commerce.
• Analyze successful products, competitive assortments and trend references to identify opportunities for new styles.
• Develop coherent collections rather than isolated designs.

• Continuously test new AI design tools, models and workflows and recommend those that materially improve product development.
• Build reusable prompt libraries, visual reference libraries, templates and workflows for different customers and product categories.
• Help establish Tanya Creations' internal standards for AI-assisted design.
• Train and support other members of the design and product-development teams in effective AI workflows.

• Strong demonstrated proficiency with generative AI image and design tools.
• Formal education in fashion design, jewelry design, industrial design, product design, graphic design or a related discipline or meaningful professional design experience.
• Strong understanding of design fundamentals including proportion, form, color, materials, composition and trend interpretation.
• Ability to take an AI-generated concept and recognize what is commercially strong, technically incorrect or impractical to manufacture.
• Strong Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator skills.
• Portfolio demonstrating both design ability and substantial AI-generated design work.
• Strong curiosity and willingness to experiment with rapidly evolving technology.
• Ability to work quickly, handle multiple projects and respond to buyer or merchandising feedback.

• Professional experience in fashion jewelry, accessories, apparel or another fashion-driven consumer-product category.
• Understanding of fashion-jewelry materials and construction, including plating, stones, cast components, chains, findings and mixed materials.
• Experience designing product for mass-market or specialty retailers.
• Experience with tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, ChatGPT image generation, Stable Diffusion/FLUX, ComfyUI, Raspberry AI or similar creative AI platforms.
• Experience using image-to-image generation, reference images, in painting, iterative editing and other controlled generative workflows.
• Experience converting concepts into specifications or development instructions for overseas factories.

• Significantly increase the number of commercially viable designs evaluated each season.
• Reduce the time required to move from trend or customer brief to presentation-ready concepts.
• Reduce unnecessary physical sampling by improving visualization before samples are ordered.
• Increase the percentage of designs selected by sales teams and retail buyers.
• Establish repeatable AI-design workflows that can be used by the broader Tanya Creations design organization.
