I’m a Fashion Designer based in Dallas with over 10 years of experience across design, technical development, and garment construction for both international and domestic brands. My journey spans from technical pattern drafting and fit development to leading seasonal collections for menswear and womenswear in knits and wovens. I’ve designed for global buyers like J.C. Penney and contributed to brands such as ADOLFO and ALX, creating mood boards, tech packs, and production-ready samples with a strong focus on quality and detail. Currently, as a self-employed seamstress and designer, I specialize in garment alterations and custom work, bringing precision, craftsmanship, and creativity to every piece. With a foundation in garment manufacturing and a deep understanding of fabrics, fit, and market trends, I’m passionate about transforming concepts into well-crafted, wearable designs
