Color Designer at Everlane

At Everlane, we want the right choice to be as easy as putting on a great T-shirt. That’s why we partner with ethical factories around the world. Work with high quality and more sustainably sourced materials. And share the true cost of every product we make. But there's a lot more work to be done, and we're excited to be growing a team of motivated humans that are up for the challenge.

The color team champions the product across the company including design, marketing, creative, planning, digital, and product development. Everyone on our team is accountable for our approach; to create an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are encouraged and both past experiences and new ways of thinking are valued.
