Kristi TePaske Reich
Creater, leader, designer, developer.
With over 18 years of experience in Fashion Design I bring a diverse and rich knowledge to any design team. I drive trend and innovation within print, pattern, silhouette and materials. When I am not designing my love for the outdoors and adventure fills my time; traveling afar, the mountains and ocean shores are my favorite ways to relax and recharge.
Art and Trend Direction
trend shopping, art buying, trend direction and ANALYZATION.
Creating and executing a design goal is both my passion and strength. I frequently participated in trend shopping trips to LA, New York and Hong Kong, also purchasing new and vintage artwork for the brand. I would take this inspiration to my team, communicating the seasonal art direction though color, themes, and new fabric programs to achieve our overarching company goals. This direction then informed our team goals and design stories for the season to our cross divisional teams within the company.
Technical & Travel
Factory visits, tech pack creation and MANAGEMENT, sketch design and garment CONSTRUCTION
With a strong education in technical design I have a rich foundation and history in garment construction and tech pack management. I am experienced in managing measurement specs, tech drawings and material development. I have frequented local and overseas factory to ensure garment quality and innovation.
