Design Archivist Intern

Dreamwear is a leading wholesale intimate apparel and sleepwear company working with brands such as Danskin, Nautica, Juicy Couture, Marilyn Monroe, XOXO. We are looking to strengthen our business by creating a new Design Archive process and we are seeking an intern to help support us as we build the foundation. This will include both helping to oversee our color filing system, as well as digitally recording our designs in our internal system, (FileMaker), by both inputting skus and auditing our master list “call system” to ensure that all users can quickly look up colors by name and standards.

We are seeking someone who can work through the Fall semester, at least three days per week. Ideally, we can start this person a bit sooner, (in August), so that they can overlap with our current intern, but this is not required for the right candidate.
