Hi, I'm Palwasha Saleem, a textile designer from Karachi with a passion for color, denim, and home textiles. I bring a practical, production-aware approach to design, combining traditional craft with modern print techniques. I have a proven record of work including an internship with Rajby Denim Industry and online freelancing since 2021, where I developed denim jackets, jeans, shirts, all-over prints, and cushion textiles. I studied at the Textile Institute of Pakistan and completed an Intermediate program at Bright Future Public College. I'm excited to contribute fresh ideas and hands-on experience to a dynamic design team. In my work, I enjoy turning concepts into tangible patterns and textiles that are both beautiful and durable. I'm eager to grow my skills in textile print development, product design, and collaborative projects, and I am proficient with tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, MS Word, and MS Excel, while also understanding wet and dry denim processes and finishing.
