About

I’m a creative fashion and design professional with hands-on experience spanning fashion design, tech packs, product development, and creative direction. I’ve worked across apparel, accessories, and jewelry, bringing trend-driven concepts to life through detailed sketches, accurate specifications, and strong collaboration with vendors, factories, and internal teams.

I’m also passionate about sustainable design and storytelling, from upcycled product collections and eco-friendly material research to delivering client-focused, one-of-a-kind couture pieces. Whether designing handbag and accessory lines, building garment tech packs, or mentoring youth through art and fashion workshops, I enjoy turning ideas into polished, production-ready outcomes.
