The posting

At Pair Eyewear, we believe in placing our people at the center of everything we do. We are dedicated to fostering a joyful and dynamic workplace, providing our employees with an environment where they can thrive and make a meaningful impact.

Pair Eyewear is looking for a frame designer to own the look, feel, and design identity of our eyewear. This is a creative, concept-driven role: you’ll define the aesthetic direction of our frames and bring new shapes and collections to life through sketching, illustration, and hand-drawing. You’ll set the design vision and partner with our development team to take concepts toward production. If you have an eye for form, a point of view on style, and a love of eyewear, we want to see your work.

What You’ll Do:

- Define the look, feel, and design identity of Pair’s frames — from overall aesthetic direction to the details of each shape.

- Conceptualize and develop new frame designs through sketching, illustration, hand-drawing, and digital rendering.

- Explore form, proportion, silhouette, and style across the collection.

- Direct materials, color, and finish (CMF) — selecting and combining acetate, metal, and mixed materials to express each design.

- Develop balanced, on-trend collections aligned with the Pair brand and the product roadmap.

- Partner with the product development team to carry concepts from idea toward production, keeping the design intent intact.

- Research eyewear, fashion, and materials trends, and study competitor product, to keep the line fresh and distinct.

- Present design concepts and direction clearly to cross-functional partners.

Who You Are:

- A frame designer with a strong point of view on style, form, and what makes eyewear feel special.

- A skilled illustrator — confident in hand-drawing and digital sketching to communicate ideas quickly and beautifully.

- Trend-aware and curious, with a feel for where eyewear and fashion are heading.

- Organized and self-driven, able to run multiple designs in parallel against a product calendar.

- Collaborative — you enjoy working with development, category, and brand partners to bring designs to life.

Need to Have:

- Direct eyewear industry experience designing frames.

- Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Fashion Design, or a related field — design school strongly preferred. Equivalent professional experience considered.

- Strong hand-drawing, illustration, and digital sketching skills (e.g. Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator).

- A strong sense of form, proportion, brand aesthetic, and color/material/finish.

- Working knowledge of eyewear materials and construction — enough to design with manufacturability in mind.

- A portfolio showing original eyewear / frame design, from concept through finished product.

Nice to Have:

- Experience designing for a direct-to-consumer/ wholesale retail or high-volume eyewear brand.

- Specialized eyewear-design training or apprenticeships.

- A background in trend or CMF research.

- Familiarity with optical basics and prescription frame considerations.

Some Benefits and Perks of Working At Pair:

- Medical, vision, and dental insurance

- Generous vacation policy

- Retirement savings plan options

- Free eyewear (plus discounts for family and friends)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
