It's been said that if you work at the Oh Joy office, you get pregnant within seconds! Ha. We're having a baby boom over here, and my designer, Angie, will be going on maternity leave in a few weeks. I thought I could do her job AND my job while she's away. But then I realized I was being a crazy person. So, I am looking for a talented textile designer to help fill-in while Angie is on maternity leave. This is a great chance to work at our studio, build your portfolio, and get to be part of designing a bunch of Oh Joy products for upcoming collections! You can see a sampling above of the work that you'd get to do!

good one!!
Just popping up to say wow what a gem of a job. x x x
…I been textile dreaming for quite sometime as a drummer that never plays his designed rhythms on the set. So in living color and some geometry it gets pretty interesting as well as challenging. I’m sure I can provide some benefits that you may be interested in building upon. I will do this for no money just acknowledgement perhaps?
Ahhhhh, just saw this! Hope you are still taking applications… I’ll be updating my resume, filling out the application and sending you an email tomorrow 🙂 XO, Rae
