    Fashion Design - Costume design

    I am a dedicated fashion designer with over 12 years of professional experience in the fashion industry, beginning my career in 2012. With a background in Fine Arts (BFA and MFA), I’ve combined artistic skill with technical expertise to develop collections that are both trend-forward and commercially successful. My core strengths include trend forecasting, market research, AI-assisted design, and sustainable fashion development.

    From 2012 to the present, I have worked with various fashion houses and sourcing companies, contributing to the development of innovative textile prints and garments. A notable achievement includes having my hand-sketched print launched by Marks & Spencer UK—an international recognition of my creative signature. Over the years, I have evolved from a designer to a strategic thinker, often integrating technology and sustainability into product development to meet global market demands. My work reflects a balance of creativity, functionality, and future-focused fashion.
