• Develop creative ideas both independently and collaboratively, responding positively to feedback and creative direction.
• Collaborate with Designers and wider creative teams, including Creative Direction, Digital, Production, Windows and Visual Merchandising.
• Work with Production teams to help translate designs effectively into final physical outputs.
