As a Textile & Surface Designer, I merge everyday life with fashion, turning ideas into original prints, patterns, and CAD-ready artwork that move from my sketch pad to the store floor. I love finding fresh ways to translate fabric concepts into wearable graphics and repeatable patterns across apparel and accessories. I bring hands-on apparel industry experience, a deep love for the craft, and the technical skills to back it up, from print development and CAD drafting to embroidery and production-ready specs.
