Available to hire
Hi, I’m Khushboo Pal. I’m a design manager with 9+ years of experience across kidswear, womenswear and textiles. I enjoy researching current fashion trends, developing seasonal concepts, and turning them into actionable design packages. I currently drive kidswear design at Miniklub, where I lead mood boards, CADs, and seasonal presentations while coordinating with vendors to maintain quality and timelines.
Beyond design, I’m pursuing an MBA in Retail Management at Welingkar Institute to strengthen my business and strategy skills. I’m passionate about building cohesive collections that balance creativity with commercial goals, mentoring junior designers, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to bring products from concept to market.
