I’m a fashion designer and product development professional with over two years of experience in the apparel industry, specializing in creative, detail-oriented fashion design and development. I enjoy researching market trends, forecasting upcoming styles, and translating customer insights into sketches, technical drawings, and product prototypes that fit brand identity and expectations. Alongside my design work, I’ve gained experience collaborating with senior designers on the full product lifecycle—working on merchandising, pre-production, and product development for both women’s casual wear and intimate wear projects. I’m also skilled in creating sustainable-focused design packs and development documentation, and I’m now looking for a challenging environment where I can contribute my design, trend analysis, and team-collaboration strengths to the growth of a dynamic fashion company.
