About

I’m a fashion designer with over 13 years of experience from concept to production for multiple brands around the world. I’ve led projects, built trend-driven collections, and collaborated with sales teams, suppliers, and overseas factories to deliver quality products on time. I’m passionate about fashion, shoes, accessories, and home décor, and I bring creativity, energy, and a positive attitude to every design project.

I thrive in both collaborative and independent roles, translating trends into wearable, market-ready pieces. I enjoy guiding teams, solving production challenges, and staying curious about new materials and technologies to keep collections fresh and commercially successful.
