Organize swatches, material libraries, and supplier information
Communicate with suppliers as needed under guidance from senior team members
What We’re Looking For:
Education & Experience• Diploma or degree in Fashion Design, Pattern Making, Apparel Production, or a related field
1–3 years of relevant experience in design or product development
