About

Curious, motivated and passionate Pattern Cutter, specialising in luxury womenswear, combining flat pattern cutting, draping and CAD to translate designers' visions into reality from the first idea to the finished product. Sensitivity to shape, proportion and balance is combined with technical skills and accuracy. Proactive, reliable and conscientious with a genuine hands-on approach, I am seeking opportunities to expand my experience and further my professional development.
