Rhian is a very experienced and knowledgeable Garment Technologist. One of her main strengths is her teamwork and ability to share this knowledge with junior members to strengthen the overall team performance. I worked together with Rhian on several orders and she always met tight deadlines with excellent decision making and communication skills both internally and with factories and customer. Rhian always has a positive attitude and will find a solution when presented with a problem. She would be an asset to any team.
