Designer
CurrentAs a designer at Absecon Mills, I am responsible for contributing innovative designs, constructions, and colorways. While collaborating with the two other designers, I also assist with creating our presentation and inspiration boards . We then will use these as a reference when developing new fabrics for our open line and other special collections. Other developments include customs request that come in from various customers or sales team members. I utilize both Pointcarre on a Windows platform and JacqCAD on a MAC platform. Other responsibilities include digitally upholstering our fabrics in order to enhance presentations and grow sales, as well as hand weaving small samples for either customs or new products.We also have a sister company, Douglass Industries, who provides quality contract seating fabrics, panel fabrics, vinyls, faux leathers, urethanes, and foam to a broad spectrum of markets. I have occasionally worked with their Design Department to help cultivate various collections and trend boards as well as various trade show displays.
