My placement responsibilities included supporting fitting sessions, measuring samples, assisting with pattern updates and working with both physical and digital prototypes to better understand garment construction. I collaborated with cross-functional teams across design, marketing and materials.
Alongside this, I completed an individual six-month project focused on redeveloping the sports hijab base pattern and grading system while creating a development playbook for future use. This project allowed me to research an underrepresented market, independently lead fittings and testing sessions, and create prototypes using professional equipment. Presenting my findings to the wider pattern team and knowing my work will remain part of the Adidas pattern library was a major achievement.
