Wrangler Apparel Design: Collaborations and Special Projects
During my time as an Apparel Design Collaborations Intern at Wrangler, I have worked alongside my design team to support the development of seasonal collections, collaborative projects, and custom pieces created for various brands and celebrity clients. My responsibilities have included creating Illustrator flats and CADs, conducting trend and market research, organizing prototypes and samples, and contributing to design presentations and storytelling concepts. This experience has given me valuable insight into the full product development process, from initial concept to final execution, while strengthening my ability to collaborate across design, merchandising, product development, and technical design teams within a global apparel brand.

The work showcased throughout this portfolio represents a selection of the projects and experiences that have shaped my growth as an apparel designer and collaborator. Even though I am only partway through my internship, I have already had the opportunity to contribute to seasonal collections, brand partnerships, and custom projects for high-profile clients, allowing me to strengthen my skills in concept development, visual storytelling, technical design, and cross-functional teamwork. This experience has provided valuable insight into the apparel industry and the collaborative process behind bringing products to market. While this portfolio highlights a range of my contributions, certain projects and details cannot be included due to confidentiality agreements and proprietary information. As I continue this internship, I look forward to expanding my knowledge and building upon these experiences while continuing to develop as a thoughtful, innovative, and market-driven designer.
