About

I’m Urooj Ul Qamar, a textile designer and design leadership professional with 13+ years of experience in print and surface design, trend research, and product development. I specialize in turning insights from market and consumer feedback into strong concept boards, design briefs, and print ranges—supporting end-to-end development from strike-off and sampling approvals to coordination with vendors and production.

I’ve led design teams, mentored new hires and interns, and collaborated closely with product development, marketing, and advertising teams to deliver prints for launches and promotional campaigns. In my current role designing prints remotely for traditional Malaysian apparel, I continue to bring structured trend thinking, clear briefs, and quality-focused approvals to every collection.
