What I do on a daily basis can change according to where we are in the design process for the season. Some of the basic tasks include managing our color palettes by keeping standard colors in stock and helping keep the line art on our visual merchandise pages updated throughout the seasons. Changes are always being made to design details, color, trim, fabric, and retail price, so they need constant modification to keep everyone current.

"I really value my education from The Art Institute of Portland – through all of my hard work, I gained a lot of knowledge about the fashion industry. I respected the teachers I had because of their accomplishments in the industry."
