About

I’m a digital and physical fashion designer who blends craft with technology, specializing in CLO3D and 3D garment prototyping. My work helps brands reduce waste, accelerate sampling, and expand into gaming and metaverse platforms. Over the past 4+ years, I’ve designed 100+ digital garments for Avakin Life’s 200M+ users, created instructional programs for the CFDA’s NextGen of Fashion Tech Innovators, and directed high-selling collaborations at RSTLSS with names like Claire Silver, Paris Hilton, and Ubisoft’s Rabbids. My projects span avatars, in-game collections, and production-ready apparel, always balancing creative storytelling with technical precision. What sets me apart is my ability to move seamlessly between concept, technical build, and market impact. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and am open to freelance or full-time opportunities in digital fashion design, 3D prototyping, avatar apparel, and fashion-tech consulting.
