With over 17 years of dedicated experience in product engineering and design, I develop high-quality apparel and custom technology solutions. My background includes bespoke and made-to-measure clothing, collection design, product development from idea through mass production, and adapting to diverse project requirements. I manage international product development by collaborating with brand and factory teams across multiple countries. I translate design concepts into production-ready garments using pattern development, garment construction, fit evaluation, and technical specification management—delivering products that meet fit, quality, performance, and manufacturability standards with efficient concept-to-production execution.
