    • Present designs (both digital renderings and physical mock-ups) during design & product meetings and follow through on changes/ revisions.
    • Manage and adhere to seasonal design calendar to meet sample, shoot, and market deadlines.
    • Conduct research on trends, materials and techniques & be able to translate this research into actualized concepts & products.
    • Source raw and unique materials such as beads, stones, chains, carvings, and vintage components to achieve the mixed-medium, bold, and sophisticated Lizzie Fortunato aesthetic.
    • Hand-make proto samples for concept review and final samples for look book photoshoots, hi-res photography, and market.
    • Build a strong digital library that conveys inspiring concepts, visuals, and references.
    • Contribute to seasonal look book photoshoot direction regarding styling, location, casting, and photographer as well as day-of-shoot management of looks.

    Product Development

    • Create detailed assembly specs to pass off to production.
    • Approve / reject samples for production and provide detailed sample / QC comments for unapproved samples.
    • Counter source materials & troubleshoot issues with the production team to seamlessly preserve the look of first samples when entering production.

    Management
