I’m a fashion and textile designer working with collection development, handwoven fabric creation, and couture-inspired limited editions. I enjoy moving ideas from concept to fabric, from technical specification to sampling and fit, and finally into production coordination and launch—so the end result matches both the artistic intent and the market needs. I founded TINTAH as a limited-production brand centered on original handwoven textiles, distinctive silhouettes, and craftsmanship. Alongside brand work, I’ve led private-label seasonal collections through trend and competitor research, material development, supplier coordination, and e-commerce-focused visual storytelling, always using what customers respond to as a guide for what to design next.
