• Produce clear, detailed CADs and accurate tech packs to support seamless communication with suppliers and factories.
• Work with the Garment Tech team to understand size specs and ensure print placement and garment proportions are spot-on.
• Communicate with factories on print scale, Lap Dip approvals, placements, and solve any design-
• Create packaging specs for both our brands and customer labels, delivered accurately and on time.
• Handle multiple briefs and tight deadlines with ease, quickly jumping between projects as priorities shift.
• Bring a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a hunger to learn and grow within the role.
• Balance fast-turnaround designs with forward-planning for seasonal collections.
• Working together with Buyers, QA, Merch, Sales and Marketing.

• A sharp and intuitive understanding of global fashion trends, market demands, and brand positioning across retail sectors
