Recycled Textile Designer
CurrentAt Material Union, a boutique textile recycling facility in Austin, Texas, we give new life to discarded clothing, home goods, and textiles. We begin by carefully sorting through donations, redistributing what we can to support unhoused and refugee communities. The rest is transformed into high-quality products like stuffing, pillows, napkins, cleaning rags, and even unique, bespoke clothing pieces.In this part time role, I lead the design of our sustainable products, manage inventory, and cultivate partnerships with non-profits to ensure usable items find a meaningful purpose. Together, we’re turning textile waste into opportunities for our community and the planet.
