2016 – 2021

My journey at Bec + Bridge, one of Australia’s leading contemporary fashion labels, provided a comprehensive foundation across the entire fashion production cycle — from design room to dispatch. Over five years, I developed a deep understanding of garment production, quality control, sustainability initiatives, and digital brand management, progressing through multiple roles and expanding my creative and technical expertise along the way.

E-Commerce Assistant & Sustainability Lead
February 2020 – June 2021

As Head of Packaging and Sustainability, I led the brand’s shift toward more environmentally conscious business practices. I managed the research, development, and implementation of sustainable packaging solutions, overseeing concept design, supplier sourcing, sampling, and final production rollout.

I also established and organised in-house recycling and composting systems at head office, ensuring daily operations aligned with the brand’s sustainability goals. Collaborating with department heads, I conducted sustainability research and presented findings and product samples to CEOs and senior management, supporting long-term corporate responsibility strategies.

In addition to my sustainability role, I assisted the eCommerce team with product uploads, web copywriting, and digital content management — ensuring all product descriptions and brand messaging maintained consistency, accuracy, and tone across the online store. I also supported staff training for warehouse and customer service teams to maintain workflow and product accuracy.

Production Assistant
2017 – 2020

In this role, I supported the end-to-end production process, liaising with local and offshore manufacturers to ensure timely and high-quality output. I handled technical drawings for overseas production, fabric and trim coordination, PP sample measurements, and quality control checks to ensure garments met brand standards.

I was responsible for packing trims and components for local production, managing fabric testing and inventory, and assisting the Production Coordinator and Manager in maintaining smooth production flow. I also helped train interns and supported the pattern filing and QC process, fostering efficiency and attention to detail across the department.

Internship & Casual Roles
2016 – 2017

I began my fashion career as an intern and production assistant, gaining hands-on experience across all aspects of the design and production pipeline. My duties included sample cutting, quality control, hand sewing, packaging, and assisting on lookbook shoots. These early experiences instilled in me a strong work ethic, technical discipline, and deep appreciation for craftsmanship and detail — values that continue to guide my work today.
