• Work with vendors to confirm print specs and garment mockups
• Maintain brand consistency across all drops
• Design apparel lookbooks and launch visuals in collaboration with marketing

• Research fashion and fitness trends (streetwear, athleisure, culture brands)
• Translate inspiration into original work — not replicas
• Understand typography, negative space, minimalism vs statement graphics

Strong understanding of:

• Garment construction basics
• Print production
• Fabric behavior
