• Collaborate with product development to select materials, colors, and components that enhance comfort, durability, and performance.
• Review samples, evaluate fit and function, and provide clear design feedback to factories.
• Partner with marketing and athlete communities to incorporate creative and functional feedback.
• Research trends in dance, fashion, and materials to guide seasonal direction and innovation.

What We’re Looking For:

• 4+ years of footwear design experience within performance, lifestyle, or fashion sneakers.
• Strong portfolio showcasing creative design and technical execution.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and 3D design tools (Rhino, CLO, or similar).
• Solid understanding of materials, pattern making, lasts, and manufacturing processes.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams and overseas factories.
• Passion for dance, fashion, and the intersection of design and performance.

Why Fuego:
