About

I am a fashion designer and product development specialist with a comprehensive command of textile technology, garment construction, and the complete design-to-production pipeline. My experience spans concept development, technical execution, and final product realization, allowing me to bridge the creative and technical sides of the industry with accuracy and intention.My work is rooted in a deep understanding of how fabrics behave, how garments are engineered, and how a collection must function cohesively across silhouettes, materials, and brand identity. This foundation enables me to support brands in building collections that are both creatively compelling and strategically aligned with their market.My core expertise includes:* Trend research, seasonal direction, and collection strategy* Concept development and cohesive line architecture* Textile analysis, fabric sourcing, and material innovation* Advanced illustration and rendering across all garment categories* Digital textile design, vector development, and original print creation* Embroidery, artwork, trims, tag, label, and branding element design* Detailed technical packs and production-ready garment specificationsI excel at transforming ideas into actionable, manufacturable product and ensuring that every detail, from fabric selection to construction methods, supports the creative vision and the commercial goals of the brand. My collaborative approach, technical fluency, and ability to anticipate production needs help streamline development, minimize revisions, and maintain design integrity throughout the process.I am currently open to freelance and contract work in design, product development, technical design, textile design, and full-scale collection development for brands seeking a partner who can deliver both creative excellence and technical precision.
