Elizabeth Enoch started her career in the apparel industry as a pattern maker and grader on the manufacturing floor almost 35 years ago. Technical design positions evolved in the 2000s, and her move to this new way of doing business has been both challenging and enjoyable. Her industry experience covers many areas of misses, women’s, men’s, and children’s categories. As a senior technical designer for JCPenney, she has had opportunities to work with a wide variety of apparel within any given product category. Currently, she is primarily responsible for juniors products, with expertise in bottoms and denim products. She loves working with denim because of its unique technical characteristics and cultural significance. She recently earned her M.F.A. from the University of North Texas, where she teaches part time.
