Manna celebrates story-rich design that draws from the past while speaking to the present. We are seeking a Textile Designer or Print Illustrator with a painterly, detail-driven hand — someone who can craft surface design as narrative, turning textiles into layered visual tapestries. This initial work will focus on creating a small capsule of pieces to test the market, with the potential for these designs to shape our debut collection.

What We’re Looking For :

• Ability to design for hand embroidery, block print, or woven structures
• Familiarity with working in natural fibers, respecting their grain, flow, and character
• A visual language that echoes the botanical, historical, or fine art-inspired
• Deep sensitivity to placement prints, symbolism, and composition
• Comfortable working closely with the fashion designer on print / fabric integration
• Work by hand (watercolour, ink, gouache, etc.) and then digitize
• Are inspired by poetry, history, interiors, flora / fauna, mythology
• Have experience working with artisans or small-batch production settings
• We are also looking for a lead designer to collaborate on this project. If you might be a good fit, please feel free to see our other advert.
