Lead the India design team and coordinate projects directly with the US office of Sharon Young Inc. Manage design requirements for John Mark, Ali Miles, and Multiples, aligning creative development with buyer direction and production needs.

Created original print and apparel concepts using hand-rendered methods and computer-aided design for Primark, Kmart, Oasis, and Boohoo. Researched fashion, color, fabric, and silhouette trends to plan ranges with buyers and cross-functional teams. Developed production-ready patterns, fabric and technical specifications; sourced fabrics and trims; and adapted designs for mass production. Reviewed strike-offs with suppliers in China, resolved technical print issues, and supported sampling through bulk fabric production.

Developed print CADs from customer briefs, mood boards, and seasonal themes for global fashion and lifestyle buyers. Prepared production artwork within print-process limitations, including channel separations and necessary technical adaptations. Worked with printing mills to review strike-offs, communicate corrections, and support sampling and bulk printing, helping convert designs from sampling into bulk production.
