Rob Meijerink

Robin is een goede designer met erg veel textielkennis en is on spot wat betreft huidige trends. Fijne collega om mee samen te werken. Robin staat altijd open voor feedback vanuit het salesteam en vind altijd de juiste combinatie tussen fashion en commercie.

She is able to design collections that meet customers needs. It was nice working with her and she was a valuable team player.
