  • Product Design & Development: Partner with design and merchandising teams to move products from initial concepts through final production.

  • Sample Evaluation: Inspect samples for graphic accuracy, color matching, artwork positioning, and compliance with design specifications. Provide feedback and communicate necessary adjustments.

  • Team & Vendor Coordination: Work closely with merchandising, production, and overseas manufacturing partners to ensure products are developed and produced according to approved designs.

  • File & Specification Management: Keep artwork files, tech packs, product specifications, and sample review notes organized and up to date for ongoing development and repeat production.

  • Packaging Support: Assist in creating packaging graphics and preparing packaging-related technical documentation when needed.
