DESIGN WORK - Junior Designer,Design Assisting and Internships

Junior Designer at Hackett Heritage 

Hackett Heritage is a casual sub-collection focused on classic British collegiate and sporting traditions, designed to complement the main line with relaxed lifestyle pieces.

All of the work I have been a part of is not yet released in stores, and I am not allowed to use it or anything affiliated with it for my portfolio, such as samples, fabric swatches, or colours.Below are some examples of technical drawings and mood boards to showcase some of the work I have I accomplished.

Creative Focus & Contributions:

  • Managed the end-to-end PLM workflow and technical production for both the mainline denim and heritage categories. Engineered comprehensive tech packs using Adobe Illustrator, directly coordinated with supplier factories, and collaborated with the production team to oversee sample development from initial sketch to executive presentation.

  • Curated and organised the division’s extensive heritage archive. Systematically cataloged historical garments, archived years of vintage brand graphics, and maintained the studio library to preserve core heritage design codes for seasonal reference.

  • Conducted comprehensive trend, fabric, and graphic research. Researched market movements and garment construction details to develop seasonal mood boards, strategic colour palettes, and curated design research for managerial review.
