Job Title: Fashion CAD & Technical Apparel Designer Company: Arketype Duration: April 2021 – Present Job History and Achievements: Since April 2021, I have been working as a Fashion CAD and Graphic Designer at Arketype, specializing in streetwear and technical apparel design. I bridge the gap between creative concepts and factory-ready manufacturing by providing highly accurate design assets. My key responsibilities and expertise include: Specialized Denim Design: Expert in creating highly detailed technical sketches (flat drawings) specifically for denim jeans and jackets. I specialize in visually rendering complex denim treatments, including custom washes, acid washes, distress patterns, rips, repairs, whiskers, and fading effects. Comprehensive Tech Packs: Developing complete, production-ready tech packs for manufacturers. This includes precise measurement charts, grading rules, stitching details, fabric callouts, and hardware/trim specifications (buttons, rivets, leather patches) to ensure 100% accurate sampling and bulk production. Streetwear & General Apparel CADs: Designing technical layouts for a wide range of modern streetwear garments, including oversized hoodies, jorts, cargo pants, and cut-and-sew t-shirts. Vector Graphics & Textile Prints: Utilizing Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create clean, print-ready vector artwork, seamless textile patterns, color separations, and custom typography for apparel graphics. Realistic Garment Mockups: Crafting premium, high-resolution garment mockups that help brands visualize the final product before production. These visual assets are heavily used for client presentations, digital catalogs, and marketing materials. Brand Identity & Detailing: Assisting in the technical development of brand elements like woven labels, hang tags, and packaging layouts to maintain a cohesive brand identity across all garments.
