For the Timberland FW25 Lookbook project, I served as a Digi Tech and Retoucher, working directly with the Timberland team, including the Creative Director and Art Director, throughout the entire post-production process. My role involved color correcting and retouching images, organizing and maintaining files with precise naming conventions, and making quick-turnover adjustments to ensure everything was completed within the project's timeline. I also batch-edited images for the global release of the lookbook, delivering polished visuals that aligned with Timberland’s brand vision.
