Help Build the Next Chapter of Product Development at Fresh Prints

Hi, I’m Andy, the Product Development Manager at Fresh Prints.

Before Fresh Prints, I spent five years with a national fashion retail group in the Philippines, working my way from graphic designer to creative lead. When I joined Fresh Prints as a graphic designer in September 2024, I wanted to focus on designing again. Building a department wasn’t exactly the plan.

I was thrown into it pretty quickly. I’d expected to be designing email newsletters. Within my first month, I was in China meeting manufacturers and sourcing fabrics. Soon after, I became the first dedicated person in Product Development, figuring out how to build the function from the ground up.

Fresh Prints already had successful garments, but there was no established playbook for the department. I worked across Creative and Logistics, built our tech pack template, mapped development timelines, and brought in technical support. Together with the wider team, we expanded beyond a single supplier and launched products like our mock neck, which has sold over 40,000 units in less than two years.

I also had to learn what American college students wanted. Through our Fashion Council conversations, I learned to push past “that’s cute.” Was it the fit, fabric, or color? Would they actually buy it? Those answers shaped our products. Clear specs, careful sample reviews, and consistent follow-through helped bring them to life.

That’s what I value about working here. You can question a process, propose something better, and take responsibility for making it happen. My role grew because there was room to contribute beyond what I was hired to do.

Now, we’re looking for a Product Development Associate who enjoys the technical side of bringing garments to life. Someone who cares about the details, catches inconsistencies, and thinks about how their work affects the next person in the process:

Can a supplier follow these specs without guessing?
Do the sample, tech pack, art proof, and website information agree?
What needs to be resolved before this moves into production?

If you enjoy solving problems, getting the details right, and seeing your work become something people wear, I’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

You’ll work closely with our Product Development Team Lead to turn product ideas and revisions into clear, accurate technical information. Your day-to-day work will include:

Create and update tech packs for assigned new products, existing garment revisions, and Collab or client requests, including measurements, construction details, and fabric specifications.
Review samples and document feedback, including QA findings, technical issues, and required revisions.
Check art proofs and briefs for garment accuracy, print compatibility, and production limitations.
Support supplier development by preparing technical specifications, reviewing supplier submissions, and coordinating follow-ups with suppliers and internal teams.
Keep product information accurate across technical records and website descriptions, specifications, colorways, and imagery.
Support new product development through tasks assigned by the Team Lead, flagging missing information, discrepancies, and potential production issues.

Your focus is to make sure other teams have complete, accurate product information they can confidently use.
