Experienced Womenswear Designer with a Bachelor's and a Master's in Fashion Design, and 9 years industry experience. My skills range from creative to technical for a well-rounded approach to design. I am looking for permanent design/pattern cutting roles within the luxury sector.
Overseeing and executing all aspects of the design and manufacturing process for my made-to-order business: from initial design, to 1st pattern & prototype development, to grading and execution of the final garments.
In charge of developing a collection of highly versatile and multifunctional clothing. This role has been my most rewarding and challenging role to date. Rewarding because I had full creative control over the direction of the collection, participating in every aspect of the design process, from initial sketch to final product. And challenging because I had to think in a much more technical way when designing the collection, to ensure the versatility element was functional.
