Available to hire
I’m Maria Grazia Cincini, a patternmaker and fashion designer with international experience in knitwear, outerwear, and luxury goods. I excel at turning design concepts into production-ready garments and building strong business relationships across fashion markets. Over the years I’ve collaborated with Italian factories and international brands, developing patterns and garments from concept to final production with a focus on quality and craft.
Currently I teach Pattern Making at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Perugia and continue to design and pattern knitwear and apparel for various clients. I love collaborating with teams across design, development, and production to push creative boundaries while ensuring feasibility and profitability for the business.
