Job Title: Freelance Assistant Designer, Socks (temporary, full time)

Bombas is a comfort focused apparel brand with a mission to help those in need.

From there, they set out to solve that problem, donating a pair of socks for every pair they sell. How do you donate a lot of socks? You sell a lot. And how do you sell a lot? You make the most comfortable socks in the history of feet. Millions of pairs sold and donated later, Bombas is continuing to innovate with new socks and apparel while creating a positive impact on the community where we all work and live.
