I was initially employed at Kooga in dispatch, but quickly through hard work and initiative,
found myself managing their newly created print room, from there I was quickly moved
into the design team, where my passion for garment design and keen eye for detail shone
through. I continued to excel and quickly progressed through the ranks to become one of the
senior members of the design team and took on the added responsibility of offshore
manufacturing of team wear garments.
This involved placing up to 40 orders a week during peak periods with offshore manufacturers.
This meant I developed exceptional time management skills, an understanding of all the
process involved and key areas where things could go wrong and how to combat these.
Due to this I developed and expressed exceptional communication skills.
Each team wear order required creating order forms, choosing trims,
fabrics and threads through to checking samples through to the arrival of the final product.
