A&E also specialized in private label sportswear development and was a supplier of scrubs and accessories to the uniform industry. During my time at A&E, I went from being the “new kid on the block”, to the Senior Designer, managing the company’s Creative Department. My responsibilities included all aspects of the creative development process including, but not limited to, product design, vendor communication, brand identity, marketing material development and packaging conception. As the company grew, we took on new ownership, which lead to my reporting to a Director of Merchandise and Product Development.
