Project manager making workpants for junk removal

A class project for a 3rd year studio course 'Protective Gear' we designed a purpose built work pant for growing local business. We balanced durability and simplicity to suit junk hauling and removal. Task specific features would create a unique look for a uniform that would distinguish the client and carry over to other uniform pieces. Acted as project manager, actively involved while coordinating the collective efforts of my eight other classmates.

details

Heavy cotton duck was chosen for durability and strength. Additional polyester patches were added in high-wear contact areas on the thigh and cuff. Articulation was added with a rear yoke, darted knee and a crotch gusset. Details were added to the front pockets to make them more secure, organized.

As project manager I coordinated the various tasks amongst the team and established the framework for a unified direction. I held individuals accountable to their tasks, and the team accountable to our objective.

Tasks were broken down to maximize team proficiencies. I compiled the concept document to relay intention to the client. Proactively monitored productivity and timeline while keeping spirits up.
