Focused on precision drafting and digital product documentation for fashion items and sewn accessories. Prepared vector-based technical illustrations, construction details, component drawings and clean presentation sheets using consistent line weights, annotation systems and file naming. Interpreted photographs, rough sketches and product references, then converted them into clear front, back, side and detail views suitable for specification discussions. Maintained layered, editable files and organized drawing libraries so design variations could be updated without recreating complete layouts. Reviewed proportion, placement and assembly requirements, including pockets, closures, straps, hems, fasteners and branding positions. Created material and hardware reference sheets to support more accurate communication with suppliers and sample makers. Worked through review cycles by recording feedback, updating dimensions, clarifying callouts and preparing revised exports for approval. The emphasis was on dependable documentation rather than decorative visuals alone. Key strengths developed in this work include accurate digital drafting, attention to scale, disciplined revision handling and presenting complex construction details in a format buyers and production partners can understand.

Fashion Product Development Specialist

Self employed / Freelance • Indépendant

Aug 2026 - Present • 2 mos

Worked across fashion product development, translating creative concepts into organized technical specifications for production review. Responsibilities included analyzing design briefs, preparing garment construction references, building measurement charts, identifying material requirements and coordinating revisions between design and sampling stages. Developed a systematic approach to documenting seams, closures, trims, tolerances and finishing methods so a manufacturer could assess the intended construction without relying on visual references alone. Supported style development by comparing prototypes against approved measurements, tracking fit comments and updating specification sheets after revisions. Prepared clear handoff files with numbered callouts, consistent terminology and version control, helping teams distinguish current instructions from superseded sketches. Applied practical knowledge of fabric behavior, garment assembly and quality requirements when flagging unclear details before sampling. Key contributions included improving the clarity of technical handovers, organizing repeatable documentation templates and keeping design decisions traceable across multiple stages of development. This role strengthened my ability to balance aesthetics, feasibility and accurate communication while collaborating with creative and production stakeholders.

Creative Product Design Coordinator

Aug 2026 - Present • 2 mos

Worked on end-to-end coordination of creative design deliverables, from initial requirements gathering through technical handoff and revision management. Interpreted client references, identified missing information and broke broad design requests into tangible outputs, milestones and approval stages. Prepared clear project briefs, technical checklists and document structures to keep expectations aligned before detailed drafting began. Collaborated with design and production contacts to consolidate feedback, resolve conflicting notes and maintain consistent files across revisions. Prioritized readable layouts, correct specifications and practical handoff formats, ensuring that final documentation reflected the latest approved decisions. Where a client request involved unfamiliar manufacturing constraints, flagged the need for verification rather than assuming a visual concept was automatically buildable. Key contributions included improving the consistency of client communication, reducing avoidable revisions through early clarification and creating organized deliverable packages. The role strengthened project ownership, quality review, deadline planning and the ability to translate complex client needs into manageable technical design tasks. This approach supported clearer client expectations and smoother transitions between initial concepts, design reviews and final deliverables.
