Kohl’s
Associate Designer and Technical Developer, Women’s Sweaters
New York, NY | 2015–2019
From Intern, to Assistant, to Associate - Kohl’s shaped the foundation of my knitwear career. Part of an in-house knitwear vendor team, I absorbed a “boot camp” of knitwear knowledge. Working with all 8 celebrity New York based brands we developed everything from 16gg jacquard ponchos to 3gg Intarsia pullovers.
Key Achievements
Only NYC associate to implement use of the Shima Seiki system. Designed and tested BMP artwork, supporting rapid custom jacquard artwork iteration cycles across all brands.
Developed proto types from scratch, learning the fundamentals of sweater spec proportions without the traditional assistance of a technical design team.
Managed a library of over 300 yarn qualities. Presenting quarterly stitch and yarn presentations, acting as an internal domestic vendor source for the brand directors to pull from.
