Our take

Atoms brings Silicon Valley product thinking to footwear. This color and visualization role is physical product design — a refreshing departure from screens for designers who care about the tangible world.

Job description

Footwear Designer (Color & Visualization) – Contract

Location: New York City (On-site preferred)

Compensation: $25/hr

About the role

Atoms is looking for a Footwear Designer focused on color, texture, and visualization — someone who can turn product direction into beautiful, hyper-realistic renderings that help tell our story. You'll work closely with the design and marketing teams to bring new colorways and material concepts to life.

What You'll Do

  • Research global color and material trends relevant to everyday footwear.
  • Create seasonal and collaboration color proposals that feel fresh yet timeless.
  • Use Photoshop and 3D design tools to build hyper-realistic renderings of Atoms shoes — visuals good enough to share directly with customers.
  • Work with the marketing team to visualize campaigns and limited editions before they exist.
  • Maintain a consistent, simple design language that aligns with Atoms' philosophy.

    • What we're looking for

  • Strong color sensibility and an ability to balance creativity with brand simplicity.
  • Proficiency in Photoshop, 3D modeling/rendering tools (CLO, Blender, Keyshot, or similar).
  • Ability to visualize products quickly and accurately for both digital and physical teams.
  • A deep appreciation for minimalism, craftsmanship, and storytelling through color.

    • Who should not apply

  • Those not willing to stay hands-on with tools and creative experimentation.
  • Anyone who doesn't track global trends or study design detail deeply.
  • People who avoid learning new rendering or visualization software.
  • Anyone who doesn't thrive in a fast-moving, startup environment where details matter.
