About

I’m a creative textile designer with 2+ years of export-oriented experience, focused on developing trend-focused prints and production-ready artwork for international buyers. I enjoy turning seasonal inspirations into detailed design concepts, then refining them into accurate tech packs and color specifications that teams can execute smoothly.

From creating original all-over prints for lifestyle products to designing tailored patterns for markets like the USA, UK, and Scandinavia, I’m driven by innovation, attention to placement and detailing, and meeting tight deadlines. I work comfortably with Adobe Creative Suite and surface pattern techniques, and I bring a nature- and travel-inspired aesthetic into contemporary textile and women’s apparel design.
