LEAD DESIGNER AT MERCHGIRLS

Hi Alisha! So tell us, what is your role at Merchgirls and how long have you been with the team?  
I’ve just passed my 1 year anniversary as Lead Designer at Merchgirls and I’m delighted to say it’s been a fun adventure so far, full of creative challenges and opportunities to design  some amazing products.  

In your role, what does a typical day look like?  
A typical day for me would be spent reading new design briefs and creating mockups and design proposals to show our clients the design possibilities (the fun part).  

I would also be switching between designing and creating pre-specs and specs of our new orders. This part requires a lot of attention to detail and patience in getting every detail as accurate as possible, but it’s fulfilling to see the finished product looking great as a result of the design team and production team working together.  

How long have you been a designer?  
I’ve been a designer for over 6 years now and still loving it!  

What has been your number one highlight working at MerchGirls? 
Having the opportunity to work with a team that is as passionate as I am about designing and creating beautiful merch and having an eco-conscious mindset throughout the process. 

What has been your favourite piece of merch?  
I am currently loving the Inga Colour Block range (featured in our Menu 2.0).  I also love our Cheerful Socks. So much fun to design and comfy to wear.  

If you could work with any client in the world, who would it be?  
I would love to get super creative and design some iconic merch for Cadbury!
