TECHNICAL DESIGN INTERNSHIP
During the Summer of 2016, I completed an internship doing Technical Design at Kohl's Corporate Headquarters in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. While at Kohl's, I learned much about fitting clothing, communicating with vendors, and the importance of working as a team. I worked in a Product Life-cycle Management system called OnePLM, learned the CAD Patterning software Optitex, and utilized these systems to ensure consistent fit across an array of products.
Displayed below are the projects I worked on, and what I learned during my time at Kohl's.
This project focused on waist seam constructions for elastic waist dresses. I went competitive shopping to find the most-used construction methods and then diagrammed them in Adobe Illustrator to aid in vendor communication.
