In this episode of The Print Life Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome Becky Dator, a creative manager with two decades of fashion industry experience across apparel, textile, and color design. With her roots in Philadelphia, Becky’s journey spans well-known brands like Free People and Print Fresh, where she’s held roles from design and project management to art direction and team leadership. We dive deep into her incredible path, starting with a chance encounter that sparked her desire to become a fashion designer, and trace her career’s evolution from student to a leader in the print and textile space.

Throughout our conversation, Becky shares unique insights into the creative world of in-house design teams, her approach to art direction, and the joy of seeing her team’s work come to life in stores and on the streets. We also explore her latest project—launching her own brand focused on upcycled vintage with hand embellishments— and discuss the importance of staying flexible, creative, and open to opportunities throughout a design career.

If you’re curious about the inner workings of textile studios, art direction, or building a sustainable fashion line, this episode is packed with inspiration. Join us as we explore the layers of the fashion industry through Becky’s lens and gain valuable advice for navigating a creative career in print design.
