Concept Contribution: Build mood boards, color stories, silhouette directions, and print concepts that define upcoming brand cohorts.

Fabric & Technique Optimization: Recommend fabric bases, printing techniques (Digital, Screen, Sublimation), surface finishes, and wash methods suited to each category. Color Standardization: Manage color accuracy using Pantone FHI to ensure consistent outcomes from sampling to bulk. 4. Vendor Collaboration & Quality Assurance Cross-Functional Liaison: Partner closely with Sourcing, Buying, and Factory Ops teams to ensure cost-effective and feasible apparel designs and custom prints. Strike-Off & Lab Dip Approvals: Own the complete follow-up and approval process for fabric strike-offs, print strike-offs, and lab dips, resolving issues like misalignment or color bleed. Warehouse & Sourcing Alignment: Work with mills and vendors to maintain an agile fabric and printing base that supports fast turnaround timelines. 5. Lifecycle & Calendar Management Calendar Discipline: Manage the design workflow strictly within seasonal deadlines to support rapid concept-to-delivery cycles.
