About

I’m Sonali Charuka Cyresk, a fashion designer who loves bridging creative ideas with practical garment construction. Having worked in garment production and technical operations through my graduate trainee experience at Brandix Apparel Solutions, I enjoy translating design concepts into buildable, quality-focused pieces using fit analysis, pattern making, and production-ready technical specifications.

I’m also passionate about improving the way teams work—combining design thinking with data and process knowledge to support smoother planning and execution. From hands-on garment assembly and sewing to digitizing style databases and dashboards, I aim to deliver intentional design outcomes across the full product lifecycle with attention to quality and efficiency.
