• Collaborate closely with merchandising, marketing, product development, and sourcing teams to ensure seamless integration of design concepts into commercially successful products.
• Lead trend research activities by attending international trade shows (virtually or in person), analysing market data, and translating insights into innovative yet wearable designs.
• Mentor junior designers by offering constructive feedback, sharing knowledge generously, and encouraging their professional growth within a nurturing team setting.
• Develop mood boards, colour palettes, fabric selections, and technical specifications that reflect both global influences and local consumer preferences.
• Champion sustainability initiatives by integrating responsible material choices and ethical production practices into all stages of design development.

• Proven track record of managing complex projects from concept through production while maintaining high standards for quality and attention to detail.
• Experience implementing sustainable design practices including responsible sourcing of materials and ethical manufacturing processes.
