More Information

To Whom It May Concern,

I am currently looking to join a team which will allow me to further journey down my career path and build upon my transferable skills in the Apparel & Textile, and Integrated Supply Chain industries. A roll in Design (Product Development/ Merchandising), Tech Design, or Sourcing anywhere within the United States is ideal, as I am willing to travel. My educational background is in fashion design, merchandising, as well as fabric composition and testing. My abilities include, yet are not limited to, sketching/rendering, flats, draping, pattern drafting, garment construction, creating tech packs, working in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, In Design, and PLM/Accumark/Gerber pattern design software.

I currently reside in Orlando, Florida working for Walt Disney World Theme Park Merchandise, developing apparel for the west coast, east coast, and global locations. More specifically, I am a team player of four, helping to manage Boys\' and Men\'s Apparel; Boys\' and Adult Graphic; and Sports Departments. My daily tasks include, but are not limited to, collaboration in market research and design briefs to plan out seasonal line assortments; providing art direction to the Art Team for correct art work color, style and placement; working closely with Tech Design to create silhouettes with the correct components, and creating/ updating /reviewing tech packs to ensure correct component and spec call-outs, as well as review fit, pre-pro, and TOP samples. In addition, I review tech packs with Sourcing for optimal fabric and component leveraging throughout the lines; correspond with our Hong Kong and Singapore offices, receiving and reviewing garment components for compliance in production; as well as keeping internal files current and consistently organized by tracking tech pack and art updates, approved garment component, and fit approvals. I also work closely with our Legal department approving trademarks and taglines for use on merchandise.

These forever revolving duties require cooperation, time management, self-initiative, as well as a can-do problem solving mentality in which I happily demonstrate each day. Please also view my profile on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/pub/artesjia-horton/54/580/764/.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you,
Artesjia Horton
