• Creating innovative prints from scratch produced either from samples or my own original hand drawn and painted designs paying close attention to detail and placement on the garment.
• Designing embellishment and embroidery artwork, including knit jacquards, using hand drawn designs and beading techniques
• Use of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to build artworks and create tech packs
• Precise colour matching and finalising of lab dip standard for prints and artworks

Print Design Assistant
-
I worked in partnership with the print designer creating original designs as well as adapting existing artwork, which I helped select from print design studios. I incorporated my own hand drawings and re-coloured and edited artwork using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Responsible for creating colour palettes and concept boards from my own research; effectively communicating these ideas at design meetings to contribute to the direction of the design team. I had the opportunity to work autonomously and liaise with all departments on design and concept, print placement, fabric selection and editing the print collection from concept to production. My own original designs were used for DKNY PURE and mainline S/S ‘14 collections.
