Communicate and collaborate with Design and Engineering to determine the design style and lines, shape, fit, measurements, and placement of all details for the garment. Create patterns using various methods such as free hand/draping or digital using Gerber AccuMark software application. Process pattern revisions and adjustments based upon feedback from fit sessions to achieve desired garment fit and design aesthetics. Plot and cut paper patterns to support prototype or sample creation. Process hard patterns into digital by leveraging Geber AccuScan software application. Grade patterns and ensure graded sizes maintain proportions and appearance as base size. Ensure patterns and construction can be efficiently produced in a high-volume manufacturing environment.

Maintain patterns created from the concept phase, development phase, and through production in Gerber YuniquePLM (PLM). Create and maintain the construction details, measurements, and cutting instruction pages in PLM. Analyze patterns to calculate and provide thread consumption for all internal manufacturing styles using A&E Anecalc spreadsheet.

Convert patterns and generate 3D models that are visually and physically accurate using Browzwear VStitcher software application. Solidify design intent and obtain a close approximate fit digitally using the tools and functionality within the 3D software application. Create material libraries to capture physical and visual characteristics utilized in a 3D workflow.

Create compressed zip files for patterns and publish to internal and external manufacturing facilities. Convert turnkey supplier pattern files to allow import into Product Development systems.
