Overview
Designing denim garments for womens wear. This involves trend forecasting research, sketching designs, compiling design pack to be sent out to suppliers and attending fit session to aid reviewing of product samples. Giving design centred opinion in relevant meeting and presenting work is a huge element of this role also.
Skills
I have learnt many new skills and developed others. I have learnt how to use many packs in the Adobe suite i.e PhotoShop & InDesign and I have developed my skills in others i.e Illustrator. I have learnt a great deal on how to carry out trend research and different reputable resources to use.
Responsibilities
Yes, I was given loads of responsibility. There was always support when required and my work is always checked before being sent out to wider teams.
Support & Guidance
I was given some support and could ask for help if I needed it. I worked in a particularly busty department so everyone was generally very occupied with their own work so there was a certain amount of self directed learning.
Culture
company culture is good and general atmosphere was positive too.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it loads, my mind was opened to so many different aspects of the business. Opportunity was readily available if you reached out for it.
Yes
be prepared to hit the ground running
