You should be aware that a normal work week will be required of you if you wish to work as a textile designer. They might, however, put in extra hours to fulfil a deadline, for travel, or when giving a presentation at a trade event. They spend the majority of their time working in offices or studios, but they occasionally work on the manufacturing floor of a plant. They are employed as in-house designers by apparel producers, product developers, interior designers, the automotive industry, home furnishing companies, as well as many other textile-related industries. They can work in a variety of positions, including colorist, fabric engineer, designer, and stylist. In order to understand what is necessary in any design, how the textile will be used, and what attributes, such as weight, performance, flammability, and strength are needed, designers will meet with consumers and employers to discuss their demands. After choosing the fabric, they will create design concepts and samples to show the buyer.
They must adhere to current trends and production methods while working within a budget and meeting deadlines. In addition to continuously learning new design tools and manufacturing procedures, they will do research on novel fabrics and design methodologies. Textile designers frequently travel for work purposes, sometimes internationally to meet with manufacturers and suppliers of potential final product materials.
