As a Junior Designer, I’ve worked across the complete lifecycle of product development — from initial concept and trend research to final production handover — supporting the creative vision while ensuring technical precision, brand alignment, and commercial success.

Creative Design & Direction
I collaborate closely with the Head Designer to interpret seasonal trends, colour stories, and brand direction into refined, trend-aware designs. My contributions include designing, CADing and range development, ensuring every collection feels cohesive, contemporary, and true to brand DNA. I assist in building and managing design boards, helping visualise collections that balance creativity with market relevance.

Technical Development & Sampling
With a strong technical foundation, I create and update detailed tech packs and specifications through every stage — from first sample to pre-production. My precision in measuring samples, analysing fit, and actioning comments ensures high-quality garments and streamlined development timelines. I also contribute to patternmaking for locally produced styles, bridging design and production seamlessly.

Fabric, Trim & Print Development
From print sourcing and recolouring to fabric research and trim development, I manage materials that elevate the final product. I work directly with both local and offshore factories, overseeing quality standards, testing processes, and ensuring clear communication through all stages of production.

Project & Production Management
I oversee product development trackers, manage purchase orders for sampling, and coordinate timelines to ensure smooth workflow across departments. My role involves the handover of all design data to production, maintaining clarity between creative, technical, and manufacturing teams.

Creative Marketing & Brand Representation
Beyond the design room, I assist with campaign and eCommerce photoshoots, castings, and showings, ensuring the brand narrative remains consistent from concept to customer. I support the eCommerce team by translating fit and design notes for digital content accuracy and contribute to sales reports that inform future design direction.

Trend & Market Awareness
Through consistent trend forecasting, attendance at trade and sourcing shows, and reviewing sell-in performance, I help refine seasonal ranges that respond to customer insights and evolving industry direction.
