I am currently a Patternmaker for athletic uniforms at Powers Manufacturing Company. We have a contract with Under Armour and through this relationship, we help create and produce new uniform styles, perfect and produce previous uniform styles, and work together to come up with an efficient and effective design process. On a daily basis, I work with computer patterns for previous, current, and new uniform styles for both Powers and Under Armour. I plot and cut samples of garments and communicate with the Product Development, Engineering, and Sewing teams to perfect each design. I test new and current fabrics to ensure the correct end result. I set up styles for ordering and production and I work with the Cutting and Sewing teams to solve any production problems. I have been trained to work with the Gerber Technology software, on top of my experience working with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator during my four years studying Textiles and Apparel at the University of Northern Iowa. I attended a Gerber Technology seminar at Gerber Technology headquarters in Tolland, Connecticut where we were trained on the most recent software for patternmaking and marker making.
Listed skills include Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, Customer Service, Microsoft Word, and 8 others.
