Our team is a passionate group of creatives, visionaries, and makers who believe in magic, mission, and meticulous craftsmanship.

About the Role

We’re seeking a local, detail-oriented, and highly organized Freelance Design & Product Development Assistant who can also support on technical jewelry design tasks . This entry to junior-level hybrid role is ideal for someone passionate about jewelry, eager to learn, and excited to work hands-on across design, product development, and sample management. The role is part-time, freelance, paid hourly, and requires on-site presence in our Hollywood studio 2–3 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday).

You’ll assist our design and PD teams in managing samples, maintaining databases like Airtable and Figma, and ensuring every detail of our creative output is tracked, accurate, and optimized for flawless execution. You’ll also be involved in technical tasks like checking CADs against tech packs, assisting in quality control, and potentially building or editing technical jewelry specs if experienced.

  • Act as a second set of eyes and ears to help our team catch missed details and ensure quality

Merchandising Support

  • Support research or documentation work related to sourcing and factory communication

Ideal Candidate

  • Familiarity with Figma, Airtable, and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, etc.)

  • Passionate about craftsmanship, storytelling, and the Awe aesthetic
  • Bonus: Technical Design experience in Jewelry or Accessories. Familiarity with jewelry tech packs, Illustrator, CADs, or BOMs
