Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

This involves trend forecasting research, sketching designs, compiling design pack to be sent out to suppliers and attending fit session to aid reviewing of product samples. Giving design centred opinion in relevant meeting and presenting work is a huge element of this role also.

Yes, I was given loads of responsibility. There was always support when required and my work is always checked before being sent out to wider teams.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was given some support and could ask for help if I needed it. I worked in a particularly busty department so everyone was generally very occupied with their own work so there was a certain amount of self directed learning.
