English term or phrase: working systems such as her portfolio and her story boards
Working systems such as her portfolio and her story boards - this phrase is taken from a letter re. a fashion designer who is coming to a clothes factory as a consultant. I just need a good fashion business language to express this. Context below:
I will bring with me xxxx, a fashion designer who has worked for more than 12 years for my previous company. She has been a designer of Ladies and Childrenswear for Marks and Spencer, and is very experienced in creating ranges and collections. She will bring examples of her working systems such as her portfolio and her story boards. She will also bring information on Computer Aided Design. I plan to

Russian translation:образцы работ и презентационные материалы
Explanation:
I would suggest "образцы ее работ" for portfolio and "презентационные материалы" for "story boards". For explanation of "story boards" go to the reference below. So the proposed translation of the sentence will be as follows: "Она представит систему, по которой она работает, включая образцы ее работ и презентационные материалы." I would be interested in the final translation you will finally choose for this sentence. It is a challenge!

Thanks for your help. I think I will have to accept your generalised approach as I did not manage to find anything better anywhere and nobody else has come up with a more precise answer. I know that "story board" means "раскадровка" in television or animation. I wish I had an exact equivalent of this term for fashion business.
Just for your information here is another (general)definition of the term: a panel or series of panels on which a set of sketches is arranged depicting consecutively the important changes of scene and action in a series of shots (as for a film, television show, or commercial)

Fashion Context:

DESIGNERS & PATTERN CUTTERS who need to develop the skill of fashion drawing and story board presentation

Introduction to the principles of design and fashion story board organization. Visual communication through the use of the design principles, the fashion figure, the garment and the fabric.

However, your way of putting it does convey the idea in general and helps to avoid a misleading interpretation of the term. Thanks again. If someone comes up with the exact translation of the term "story board" for fashion design business, please contact me at [email protected]
