Showpo - Fashion Design & Garment Technology Assistant

As a dedicated Design and Garment Tech Assistant, I supported the end-to-end design and development process for multiple ready-to-wear collections, collaborating closely with designers, buyers, and production teams to bring concepts to life with precision and creativity.

Design Development & Technical Precision
I assisted senior designers by creating detailed CAD illustrations and technical packs, ensuring every garment was accurately represented and ready for production. My strong attention to detail and deep understanding of construction techniques resulted in a high first-sample approval rate, saving both time and production costs.

Fabric Research & Sourcing
I managed fabric research and sourcing, curating high-quality, trend-driven materials aligned with seasonal direction and brand DNA. I maintained up-to-date trim and fabric libraries, including cost tracking and supplier communication — ensuring efficient, on-brand, and commercially viable designs.

Fit, Fittings & Sampling
Working closely with the garment tech and design teams, I contributed to fittings and sample evaluations, measuring garments, interpreting fit comments, and communicating clear technical feedback to factories. This process strengthened consistency across styles and improved fit accuracy from initial sampling to bulk production.

Cross-Team Collaboration & Presentation
I played a key role in buy meetings and range presentations, preparing visual line-ups, organising samples, and supporting collection storytelling. My ability to translate technical details into a creative narrative helped ensure the design vision was communicated effectively across departments.

Process Management & Organisation
Behind the scenes, I maintained all tech packs and specification updates, ensuring real-time accuracy for design, production, and merchandising teams. I also handled sample tracking, supplier follow-ups, and price negotiations, balancing creative goals with commercial needs.
