New Appointments at PAD
CAD software provider PAD System Technologies Inc. named Karen Aviles as its new director of West Coast sales. She will provide support for customers on the West Coast as well as for international markets.
Aviles, who attended Otis College of Art & Design, has been a designer for Mattel Inc. and several apparel labels, including Los Angeles–based childrenswear maker Little Mass. She will be based in PAD’s Los Angeles office in the California Market Center and will report to Kristine Gloviak.
“Being a designer, I’ve been associated with CAD, and PAD is a great company that is growing locally and internationally,” Aviles said. “I believe in the product, and that’s why I’m here.”
Aviles is bilingual and will service PAD’s growing base of Latin American users.
In another personnel move, Julie Lefebvre left PAD’s Montreal office to work on a personal project. She was the company’s specialist for 3-D applications such as Haute Couture 3D. Andrei Tilin has assumed her duties.
PAD is offering a new round of pattern-design workshops throughout July at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Call Alicy Rydel at (212) 217-7250 for more information. —Robert McAllister
