Available to hire
I am a creative and technically proficient Textile Graphic Designer with over a decade of experience transforming seasonal trends into production-ready artwork. My strengths include seamless repeat engineering, color separation, and CAD development. I collaborate closely with designers and screen printers to research, test and implement innovative screen printing techniques that elevate repeat prints and embellishments. I am bilingual (English/Spanish) and have a proven track record of producing full visual collateral like line sheets, look books, and catalogs that drive sales. I manage print libraries, coordinate trademark clearance, and deliver precise specifications for domestic and import production. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy expanding product lines while maintaining brand consistency.
