Product Design Assistant

Q for Quinn

Toronto, Ontario
At Q for Quinn, we make everyday essentials with intention. What started with a focus on better basics for babies and kids has grown into a brand grounded in quality, transparency, and thoughtful design. We work with natural, sustainable materials and trusted manufacturing partners to create products that feel as good as they look, pieces people reach for daily, and keep.

We believe in doing things the right way: fewer, better products, made to last.

About Q for Quinn
At Q for Quinn, we make everyday essentials with intention. What started with a focus on better basics for babies and kids has grown into a brand grounded in quality, transparency, and thoughtful design. We work with natural, sustainable materials and trusted manufacturing partners to create products that feel as good as they look, pieces people reach for daily, and keep.

We believe in doing things the right way: fewer, better products, made to last.

The Role
We’re looking for a Product Design Assistant who knows how to bring ideas to life; someone who understands not just how something should look, but how it should feel, fit, and function in the real world.

This role sits at the intersection of design, technical execution, and brand storytelling. You'll be working closely with our founder and lead designer of the brand.

You’ll be hands-on from concept through to final production, shaping pieces that are thoughtful, intentional, and built to last.

What You’ll Do

Assist the founder and designer, in the design and development of products from initial concept through to production

Translate creative direction into tangible designs, balancing aesthetics with functionality

Create detailed technical packages (tech packs), including measurements, materials, and construction details

Work closely with patternmakers and manufacturers to ensure accuracy, fit, and quality

Oversee fittings and iterate on designs based on feedback and wear testing

Source fabrics, trims, and materials aligned with the brand’s standards and vision

Collaborate cross-functionally with production, marketing, and leadership teams

Maintain consistency across product lines while pushing the brand forward

What You Bring

1-3 years of experience in a similar product design role (fashion, apparel, or related field)

Strong technical knowledge of garment construction, materials, and production processes

Solid experience with patternmaking and an understanding of fit and form

Ability to create clear, detailed, and production-ready tech packs

A sharp eye for detail and a deep appreciation for quality and craftsmanship

Strong problem-solving skills - you know how to troubleshoot and refine, not just design

Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively

Bonus If You Also Have

Experience with brand design, visual identity, or creative direction

A strong sense of color theory and palette development

Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop) or similar tools

Experience working with overseas manufacturers or production partners

Who You Are
You care about the details - the ones most people miss. You think in both concepts and construction. You’re just as comfortable sketching an idea as you are refining a spec sheet. You don’t chase trends; you build pieces with purpose.

And above all, you want to create work that feels considered, not disposable.

Why Join Us
We’re building something intentional. Every product we create is an extension of our values - quality, simplicity, and meaning. If that resonates with you, you’ll feel at home here.
