Taeyeon Nim K.

Background / Education: Parsons, The Newschool for Design: BFA Design, Fit, Patternmaking and Development, 2013 NC State Zeis Textiles Extension: Textile Fundamentals elearning Course - Certification - September 2021 Motif: Textile Appreciation Course - Certification - March 2022 I'm a designer, tech designer and developer who had 10+ years in experience in the apparel industry. I'm passionate of making products into life and it's truly amazing to see process. I'm a self starter and I have a well-rounded background in design and development that ranges from high fashion to outdoor gear. My specialty is tech flats, fitting and fabrics. I do fit analysis from a wide range of categories: men's, women's, children's. Subcategories: tops, jackets, coats, activewear leggings, base layers, dresses, you name it. I have been exploring other categories such as bags or backpacks. I'm able to build tech packs from scratch and provide detailed call outs, constructions, instructions, way of packaging shipments, specifications, measurements, POMs, BOMs, grading and all stage tabs. I can illustrate sketches to be added onto the tech pack as well. For anyone who's new into the industry or wants in-depth knowledge of design and development itself, I would be very happy to guide you through it. It may seem like a simple process, but as a designer builds more products, it can get very convoluted very quickly. More skills under my belt besides above: Sourcing, production, design concepts, creative map, fabric development or biomaterials, sustainability, backpack developments, outdoor gear... Also transitioning into more product design role. I personally designed backpacks and technical apparel for both men's and women's recently.
