Fashion Designer. Creative Pattern Cutter

I create visual compositions with selected iconography, accompanied by leads in writing, textures, and colours describing the essence of a project. My designs are primarily layered sketches and digital collages and product design seen in perspective with all components visible. Through archival research I extract technical details and inform production with precise references to all aspects of construction. High-quality technical documentation includes flat illustrations, all measurements and comprehensive guidelines for industrialisation. I’m responsible for creating new looks, from idea to final prototype. I master advanced pattern cutting, conduct fit analysis and work with manufacturers to solve challenges, ensuring a smooth execution.
