About

16 years of experience in fashion design, particularly in menswear, I bring a wealth of expertise and creativity to your esteemed team.

My career includes significant roles at Aydınlı Grup, LC Waikiki, and Orka Holding. At Orka Holding, I conducted R&D workshops, prepared seasonal range plans, and introduced collections to dealers. I excel in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and my expertise in fabrics, patterns, and graphics aligns perfectly with the responsibilities outlined in the job description. I have a proven track record of preparing technical pages and ensuring the production process runs smoothly, which will be invaluable in supporting design team.

Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
Zuhal Karakaya Agiakatsikas
