About

Senior Freelance Designer specializing in sportswear and outdoor apparel, with 18+ years of experience in the fashion industry. My expertise spans the entire development process — from initial concept and design through technical development and production readiness. My focus is always on combining aesthetics, functionality, and uncompromising quality.

I have a strong ability to translate heritage references into contemporary, wearable streetwear pieces. Over the years, I’ve created timeless and well-thought-out designs across categories including outerwear, fleece, jersey, pants, and accessories. Beyond creative design, I am highly experienced in developing precise tech packs and collaborating closely with manufacturers to ensure that products meet both design intent and performance requirements.
