  • Ensure development goals are clearly understood and achieved by working closely with factories on materials, production feasibility, and cost considerations.
  • Work through design challenges, problem-solve technical constraints, and adapt designs as needed to maintain creative integrity while ensuring manufacturability.
  • Project & Timeline Management :

  • Work with team leads to manage schedules, timelines, and deliverables, ensuring on-time completion of all product development stages.
  • Oversee multiple projects simultaneously, balancing creative execution with deadlines and business objectives.
  • Provide clear communication and updates to internal teams regarding project status, design iterations, and production progress.
  • Brand & Storytelling Development :

  • Develop cohesive brand identities, ensuring packaging, storytelling, and product design work together seamlessly.
