I’m a fashion designer with over a decade of hands-on experience building functional apparel and blending artisanal methods with scalable production. I’m passionate about transforming traditional craftsmanship into market-ready, sustainable garments that meet real-world needs. As a pattern maker and 3D designer, I bridge artisanal and industrial approaches using tools like Browzwear and Gerber AccuMark to shorten development cycles, improve fit, and enable seamless collaboration across design and production teams. I’m excited about AI-driven design workflows and digital fashion innovations that empower responsible industry transformation.
