As a PD Specialist I was responsible for managing several products which were developed over a span of 6 months to 2 years. From conceptualizing a product to creating the formula and shades to the packaging design and copywriting, I was responsible for keeping up to 10 products on track for tight deadlines and launch dates. I also was responsible for all color matching for each production run to ensure the quality and color of each product was to our high standards. In addition to my PD responsibilities I was responsible for PR and Social Media. I eventually sought out the responsibility of the brand’s website when I identified a need for better management.
