I am currently working as a Design Assistant for a high street supply company Timex Fashion, working closely with customers such as Arcadia, Marks&Spencer, Debenhams and House of Fraser. My main role at Timex Fashion is to help in ladieswear garment design development, trim/embellishment design development using CAD and print development using CAD. I also assist Timexs freelance senior designer in range building for our customers and creating story boards for the design team at Timex Fashions sister brand Avirate based in Sri Lanka. I also have gained experience in logo design, through designing the logo for a new ladieswear evening range for BHS. Working under a small, but a busy and successful company like Timex Fashion since leaving university has meant I have had to become a quick learner, adaptable and highly organised.
