Available to hire
I’m a senior apparel technical designer and fit expert with more than twenty years in the apparel industry. My focus is on technical design, size and fit, pattern making, and turning concepts into production-ready products across athletic wear, outerwear, and lifestyle lines.
I excel at building strong vendor partnerships, driving lead-time reductions, and delivering thorough tech packs, BOMs, and fit feedback that improve construction and reduce returns. I collaborate closely with design, merchandising, and manufacturing teams to bring innovative ideas to market on time and within budget.
