<div>As a technical designer, you will support students with fabric preparation, pattern layout and marking, garment assembly, and pressing. You will demonstrate industrial, hand-sewing, and fine finishing techniques. You will also effectively communicate with students about all intended fit corrections and technical details. Among other duties, you will build professional relationships within the fashion department, assist with presenting and conducting live model fittings to ensure proper garment fit, apply adjustments to eliminate defects, and recommend materials and relevant finishing techniques. Similarly, you will collaborate with fashion students to ensure that garment specifications are feasible and help them implement design changes and contingency plans. Additionally, you will ensure that all fashion student products meet high standards of quality and align with SCAD's values and expectations.

In this role, you will assist students in creating spec sheets, inspire performance solutions for constructing high-quality garments, and develop new patterns and muslins.
