As a passionate and skilled Fashion Designer with a Bachelor's degree from London College of Fashion, I specialize in creating innovative designs that blend cultural heritage with contemporary aesthetics. My final fashion collection, inspired by the vibrant beauty of Colombia, features six unique outfits, two of which were showcased at Protein Studio Shoreditch, London. With 4+ years of experience in fashion design, pattern cutting, and garment construction, I am proficient in both traditional and digital design methods, including CAD software like Lectra Modaris, Gerber, and Adobe Suite. I excel at trend research, textile selection, and creating precise technical designs, ensuring every piece is both stylish and sustainable. My work demonstrates a commitment to quality, creativity, and craftsmanship, and I am eager to further my career in fashion design, bringing fresh perspectives and a keen eye for detail to every project. 🔗 View my fashion portfolio here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGmlR5ENOk/MsEAfyZv6HRPyln94V5geg/edit?utm_content=DAGmlR5ENOk&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton
