Designer

Designer Position at TWENTY2

TWENTY2 is a high-end private label wallpaper and textile production company. We help artists and designers bring innovative wallpaper and textile collections and custom projects to life. We're known for our expertise, creativity, high level of customer service, exacting quality standards, and on-time delivery.

We're seeking an experienced Designer with strong textile print and pattern design skills to join our in-house creative team.

In this role, you'll take customer artwork and original concepts - patterns, murals, colorways - and turn them into production-ready products. You'll take particular ownership of strikeoff color development, interpreting customer direction and feedback to get color exactly right, while advising on aesthetic and material choices that our Projects Team relays to partners. You'll work with real autonomy, balancing hands-on creative work with technical precision, and you'll help mentor junior designers as part of a collaborative studio team.

What You'll Do

• Take in customer artwork and original ideas and develop them into finished patterns, murals, and colorways - including specialty techniques like custom masking and pre-trim work
• Build mockups, room renders, and presentation materials that bring a concept to life for internal review and client approval
• Own the strikeoff color development process, interpreting customer direction and feedback to achieve accurate, approved color matches
• Perform color edits and checks on customer orders to ensure precise alignment with approved standards
• Monitor prepress swatches for color accuracy and print clarity, flagging any quality or equipment concerns to the Design Manager
• Advise on aesthetic options, color matching, and ground selections that balance visual impact with what's manufacturable, with guidance relayed to partners through our Projects Team
• Check incoming files for accuracy and production-readiness, catching issues before they become problems on the floor
• Estimate project scope and turnaround time, and communicate clearly with the Projects Team throughout a project
• Mentor and support Production Designers, and pitch in on hands-on production design work during busy periods
• Stay current on design trends, new techniques, and industry developments, sharing relevant insights with the team

What We're Looking For

• 3–4 years of experience in textile, wallpaper, or surface design (including at least 1–2 years in a more technical production/prepress role)
• Strong Photoshop skills, including advanced masking and repeat pattern work; comfortable in Illustrator and InDesign
• Experience with a Wacom tablet for detailed digital art and mask work
• Solid understanding of color theory, print production, and how designs translate from screen to finished product
• Confident communicator, comfortable guiding internal teams through technical decisions and incorporating feedback
• A collaborative, mentoring mindset - you're as happy helping a production designer solve a problem as you are solving your own
