“I always questioned why clothing was made a certain way, and how I could change the fit, color, or pattern to make it better.”

“ I have performed exceptionally as a fashion designer and technical designer executing many of the responsibilities required as a higher-level designer.”

The following will demonstrate my experience and expertise in the fashion industry:

I have gained technical and aesthetic skills in fashion design, silhouette development, fashion illustration, technical design, and product development. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Indesign.

I have experience with the entire product design process for a multi-brand company. From the initial market research to mood board creation to sketching/designing to delivering and marketing the end product. Also, I have multiple years of experience in the technical apparel design process from the initial start of the development of patterns, construction of the garment, creation of technical packets, textile research, illustration sketches, and technical flat CADs, to conducting fittings, finalizing the fit and garment production.

I have helped launch product lines for Just For Kix, Alexandra Collection, Dance Basix, and MoveU.

My specialties include women’s cut & sew knits, swimwear, and evening gowns. I have trained across multiple categories within a business along with freelance custom design work.

I am a creative who can brilliantly mix and match aesthetic and technical expertise for various garment categories.

A determined problem-solver, accustomed to performing well in a fast-paced and deadline-driven business environment.

I am organized, a fast learner, and work hard independently and within a team.

Outside of designing itself, I have traveled as a buyer to China several times on behalf of the company, I have created a catalog, lead numerous photoshoots, organize weekly product development and design meetings, create product timeline schedules, and have solid knowledge in the Ecommerce side of the industry.
