  • Hand-make proto samples for concept review and final samples for look book photoshoots, hi-res photography, and market.
  • Build a strong digital library that conveys inspiring concepts, visuals, and references.
  • Contribute to seasonal look book photoshoot direction regarding styling, location, casting, and photographer as well as day-of-shoot management of looks.


Product Development

  • Create detailed assembly specs to pass off to production.
  • Approve / reject samples for production and provide detailed sample / QC comments for unapproved samples.
  • Counter source materials & troubleshoot issues with the production team to seamlessly preserve the look of first samples when entering production.
