Holly Vlasak
Assistant Manager of Product Development at White House Black Market
Summary
I am currently an Assistant Manager for Women’s Sportswear & Denim Product Development, where I have found that my role is not utilizing my creative talent and background. I have gained important analytical skills that will make me a stronger designer in the future. I am eagerly searching for a creative role to contribute my analytical side of the business process with my creative design background. I recently took the initiative to participate in my companies design project. The design team had to sketch into trend and concepts Summer inspiration and present five complete looks with fabrics and direction to a board of managers and executive team. Three of my pieces were chosen to be “sketched” into for the Summer development process. Participating in this project showcased my presentation skills and true design talent proving to myself I need to be in a design position.
