I’m Syed Waqas Hussain Jafri, a textile designer and product developer with 12+ years of experience focused on home textiles, especially curtains and duvet covers. I enjoy creating print and pattern concepts, coordinating sampling and strike-offs, and working closely with printing and production teams to ensure the final output matches the design vision. I’ve built my career by managing end-to-end development—from vendor coordination and production follow-up to design QC and finished-goods quality. I’m now targeting a transition into Home Textile Merchandising, using my strong design background and practical product development experience to support better product decisions, smoother launches, and consistent quality for customers.
