Our multicultural team brings passion, creativity, and attention to detail into every collection we build. 

The Role 

We are looking for a hands-on, responsible, and energetic Senior Graphic Designer to lead and grow our physical product development team. 

Important: This is a physical product design role (giftware, fashion accessories, merchandise goods). It is not a UI/UX, web, or digital design position. 

You’ll lead the creative development of our products—from initial sketches and prototypes to final samples—working closely with designers, suppliers, and the sales team to bring collections to life. 

Job Responsibilities: 

* Collaborate with internal and external graphic design teams to develop new giftware collection. 
* Plan design timelines and organize task roadmaps for the creative team 
* Work closely with suppliers in China to ensure pricing and production feasibility 
* Assign tasks, track timelines, and actively follow up to keep development on schedule 
* Guide junior designers and ensure clear execution of design directions towards the company vision. 
* Ensure alignment between design concepts and business goals. 
* Support the business by improving how we develop, present, and sell our products 
* Align product collections with customer expectations and sales goals. 

 

What We Are Looking For: 

 

* Strong design background, ideally in gift products, fashion accessories, or merchandise goods 
* _Experience in_ product development, from concept to final merchandised product 
* Clear communicator who can organize tasks and help the team grow 
* Comfortable working with suppliers and understanding cost vs. design trade-offs 
* Good leadership skills with high level of responsibility and a team-oriented mindset 
* A strong eye for design trends, color, and consumer preferences 
* Able to turn feedback into action and manage timelines efficiently 

 

The Opportunity: 

We are looking for a hands-on, responsible, and energetic Lead Product Designer to manage and grow our product development capabilities. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in design (fashion, accessories, or industrial) who is ready to take on leadership responsibilities in a sales-driven, hands-on product development environment. 

You will lead the creative development of products —from concept to prototype—working closely with designers, suppliers, and our sales team to bring collections to life.  

Must-Have 

* Portfolio showing physical product design experience (not websites or apps) 
* Willingness to relocate to Yiwu, China
