  • Sample Management: Overseeing the production of strike-offs (initial fabric samples) and providing feedback to technicians to refine the color or texture before final production.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Working closely with fashion designers, buying teams, and production managers to ensure designs are cost-effective and feasible for large-scale manufacturing.
