I am a Fashion design assistant at Charlie and Son which designs Fashion tops and dresses
for Christian Audigier and Ed Hardy. My responsibilities are assisting in the design
process for Women’s fashion tops and dresses for Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier and Rock
Fabulous.

Among the many duties I have, my main responsibilities are assisting the senior designer
with entire production process from designing, fabric sourcing, communicating with
production companies, tagging and labeling to shipping samples to headquarters. I am also
in charge of sketching design ideas in Adobe Illustrator and preparing the line sheets
that are presented to our buyers. 

I play a significant role in designing the jewelry for fashion tops and dresses as well as
rhinestones and trim applications on designs. I communicate directly with trim and fabric
vendors, production companies as well as screen printing and sublimation factories. Aside
from that, I advise graphics, shop for samples, source fabrics and trims.

I am in search of a company that will be able to sponsor me a working visa. I am a hard
worker and is just searching for a company that will enable me to utilize my skills and
expertise.
