Background

About Vicki W.

I spent most of my career in New York City working across various disciplines of the fashion industry (hard and soft goods). I love expanding my knowledge in the business and have always been a driven and detail-oriented team player striving to exceed goals. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working in various design, technical design, and product development roles, and have gained proficiency in: • Luxury level men's, women's, and junior technical design management • Branded and private label product development • Product costing and negotiation • Time and Action calendars • Material, trim, and vendor sourcing • Systems and technology Implementation (PLM) • Project management and change management • Employee and office operations • Expense, budget and travel management • Branded, private label, and luxury Italian brand experience • Ad campaign, lookbook (stills), catalog and video shoot styling experience I’ve more recently enjoyed working and managing design, product, and sample making teams collaborating and consulting on various projects. As well, I completed FIT's Browzwear V-stitcher course for 3D technology enhancing Design and Tech Design efficiency (see Featured section for works created).
