I am a Fashion Designer and Textile Consultant with over 4 years of hands-on experience working with fashion brands across the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, and the Middle East. I support brands end-to-end — from early concept development to production-ready collections. My work covers womenswear, modest fashion, resortwear, kidswear, activewear, and accessories. I don’t just design aesthetically strong pieces; I build collections that are commercially viable, production-ready, and aligned with the brand’s long-term goals. My expertise includes: • Collection design & product development • Textile research, fabric sourcing & supplier coordination (especially Türkiye & UK) • Tech packs, measurement charts, grading logic & fit comments • Trims, labels, packaging & branding details • Merchandising mindset: pricing, volumes, silhouettes & customer fit • Production coordination and factory communication I work closely with trusted manufacturers and mills in Türkiye, allowing me to help clients achieve high quality, competitive pricing, and reliable lead times. I am highly detail-oriented, process-driven, and known for clear communication between creative teams and production partners. Clients often describe me as easy to work with, transparent, calm under pressure, and someone who truly understands both the creative and technical sides of fashion. I value long-term partnerships over quick fixes and believe successful collections are built through clarity, trust, and realistic planning. If you’re looking for a designer who understands fabrics, production realities, and brand strategy — not just sketches — I’d be happy to collaborate.
