The Walt Disney Company in London is seeking a Product Designer specializing in apparel graphics and prints to create trend-led artwork for infant, baby, children and kidswear across EMEA retail partners.

You will develop mood boards, mock-ups and assets, ensuring artwork aligns with Disney IP, brand guidelines and commercial priorities. A strong portfolio and English fluency are essential.

Qualifications

• Experience in apparel graphics, apparel prints, textile design, childrenswear, babywear, infant apparel or softlines design.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating hands-on creative design work across apparel graphics, all-over prints, placement graphics, repeat patterns, textiles, childrenswear, babywear, kidswear or related softlines categories.
• Strong capability in graphic and print design, with the ability to translate trends, characters, storytelling, style guides and brand assets into commercially relevant apparel artwork.
• Good awareness of infant, baby, childrenswear and kidswear markets, including age-appropriate graphics, colours, textiles, print techniques, materials and consumer expectations.
• Ability to create clear visual design materials, including mood boards, artwork concepts, mock-ups, pitch decks and partner-facing creative presentations.
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator and Photoshop, with confidence using digital tools to create, adapt and present graphics, prints and textile-led concepts.
• Confident reviewing creative submissions and providing clear first-line feedback on apparel graphics, print application, trend alignment, brand fit, quality and completeness.
• Highly organised and detail-focused, with the ability to manage multiple creative priorities, approvals and deadlines while maintaining accuracy and design quality.
• Licensing experience is beneficial but not essential; experience in homewares, gifting or simple 3D creative work would also be advantageous.
• Fluent written and spoken English for business, with additional European languages beneficial.
• Culturally aware, with a strong understanding of EMEA markets and a readiness to learn new systems, processes and tools.

Responsibilities

• Design hands-on apparel graphics, placement prints, all-over prints, repeat patterns and bespoke creative assets for infant, baby, childrenswear and kidswear ranges across softlines and apparel categories.
• Research consumer, market, competitor, textile, graphics and apparel print trends, translating insights into mood boards, artwork concepts, print stories, mock-ups, pitch materials and commercially relevant creative solutions.
• Create and adapt designs that bring Disney characters, stories, franchises and creative assets to life in ways that feel relevant for babies, children and families.
• Support creative development for retail partners and licensees, helping shape graphic and print direction for apparel ranges while aligning to Disney IP, brand guidelines and commercial priorities.
• Review apparel artwork, graphics, print applications and product submissions, providing first-line creative, trend and brand feedback and escalating quality, integrity or consistency questions where needed.
• Prepare clear visual materials, including design concepts, artwork packs, presentation decks and partner-facing creative assets that communicate ideas effectively to internal teams, retail partners and licensees.
• Contribute to Disney’s product approval process by ensuring creative submissions are well prepared, routed accurately and aligned with global product integrity, legal and corporate requirements.
• Where relevant, support occasional creative needs beyond apparel, including homewares, gifting or simple 3D visualisation work, helping reduce reliance on external freelancers for secondary creative tasks.
