Makena is a Hawaii-based jewelry brand inspired by sun-warmed skin, salt air, effortless beauty, and everyday elegance. Our pieces are designed to be worn in the ocean, layered daily, and loved for years, not just a season.
We are looking for someone with a fashion background who deeply understands brand identity and can assist in designing collections that stay fully aligned with Makena’s aesthetic.

The Right Person for This Role
You understand how to:
Stay consistent with an established aesthetic
Build cohesive collections that feel intentional
Avoid chasing trends that don’t fit the brand
Refine ideas until they feel effortless, not over-designed
Makena is feminine but not fussy.
Elevated but not flashy.
On-trend but never trendy.
Coastal but not literal.
We are looking for someone who instinctively understands that balance.

Your role will be to:
Use our curated inspiration as a starting point

Design full jewelry collections aligned with Makena’s brand DNA
Create seasonal mood boards rooted in our aesthetic
Develop balanced assortments (statement + layering + core essentials)
Review samples to ensure they match both design intent and brand standards

Contribute to naming, collection themes, and storytelling
