Textile Designer Interns at Free People

Senior Textile Designer Megan Kohl is having a great summer interning with Free People at their corporate headquarters at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia. 


Megan responded to a few questions about her experience:
  • How did you land this internship?
-I got this internship after an interview with Urban Outfitters at the career fair at school, which then led me to this position.  
  • What are your responsibilities?
-Some of my responsibilities include putting patterns into repeat, making different color ways and keeping up with print packages that need to be sent out.  

  • Please describe a typical day.
- On a normal day I will scan in some designs and put them into repeat, mainly stripe layouts and plaids and after that is done it then needs to get approved by the designer.  Then I will create a package for it to be sent overseas so we can get strike offs. Sometimes I will also work on mood boards for a trend and color ways for that trend based on chosen inspiration.  

  •  What sort of projects are you working on? Who do you work with?
-I am working on a collection of about 5 prints right now that I will present to the manager of design and the buying manager at the end of my internship. I work with the print team and color team closely but also with the fashion designers and the trend team.
