I’m Suriya Ashokan, a fashion designer and product developer based in Singapore. I design apparels, create tech packs for factories, and curate mood, colour, and material boards to shape future collections. I collaborate closely with fabric mills, trim suppliers, and production teams to ensure quality, sustainable choices, and on-time deliveries.
My travels across many countries broaden my view of fashion and cultures, fueling my creativity and adaptability. I’m patient, communicative, and comfortable multitasking in fast-paced environments, turning concepts into production-ready solutions.
