• Innovate with fabrics, trims, soft constructions, and hybrid hard/soft systems, drawing on deep knowledge of sewing, lamination, molding, bonding, and scalable manufacturing.
• Mentor junior designers and help elevate the team’s creative standards and design thinking.
• Develop strong visual narratives, renderings, and presentations for alignment and executive communication.
• Work with international manufacturing partners to ensure products meet WHOOP’s standards for quality, innovation, and aesthetics.
