What do you get up to in your role? What makes it different compared with other similar roles you’ve had?
One of my favourite parts of this role is how varied the days are from leading supplier meetings, hand drawing artworks, researching trends, design development, technical packs.

How has your career developed since you’ve worked here?
I have learnt so much during my time at Coast and I feel this role has really accelerated my career in fashion. I came to Coast straight from university and quickly learnt how a large fashion company operates and how to design commercially viable products. Within one year of being at Coast, I was asked to join the team on a trip to India to design and build relationships with our suppliers. This was an amazing opportunity where I gained valuable insights into downstream manufacturing and how to improve communications with suppliers.
