Responsibility was to work with client's concept design to turn into a manufacture-able product. In this project, I took designer's artwork files and produced 10+ page tech pack file to provide to manufacturer to produce samples. Then evaluated samples with team and applied revisions and updated tech pack files until product was finalized.
