Thank you for considering me for this role. I bring over 18 years of experience developing production-ready graphics, engineered prints, and textile designs across apparel, swimwear, kids, home, and licensed product categories. Most recently, I serve as an Engineered Print Designer and Production Artist at Posh Peanut, where I lead engineered and placement specific artwork for licensed collections including Disney, Marvel, DC, and Warner Brothers. My work requires close collaboration with apparel design, patternmaking, technical design, and mills to ensure artwork aligns precisely with garment silhouettes, pattern pieces, and manufacturing requirements. I’m deeply hands-on in production. From mapping files and color matching to reviewing lab dips, strike-offs, and fabric tests to maintain visual integrity through bulk production. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a wide range of product categories and brand environments, including menswear activewear at Fabletics, swimwear at Add-Black (Target), high-volume kids and women’s apparel at LuLaRoe, and home goods at Greenland Home Fashions. These experiences strengthened my ability to translate trend research into commercially successful prints while balancing creativity with technical execution, cost parameters, and tight timelines. I’m highly proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, with extensive experience in repeat development, engineered layouts, indexing, color separations, and Pantone/Archroma color matching. I’m known for delivering accurate, production-ready files, maintaining organized print libraries, and communicating clearly with cross-functional teams and external partners. I’m excited by opportunities where strong design sensibility meets technical precision, and where collaboration plays a key role in bringing products to life. I would welcome the chance to contribute my experience and passion for print and textile design to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to connect.
