Available to hire
Hi, I’m Dipa Chawda, a womenswear print designer with over six years of experience. I have a passion for creating original and trend-led prints, from research and concept to final files ready for production. I specialize in a range of print design techniques including all over prints, repeat patterns, half-drop repeats, and placement prints.
I love working with both digital tools and traditional hand-painting methods like watercolors. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with various brands and suppliers, developing designs for menswear and womenswear. When I’m not designing, I enjoy keeping fit, exploring interior design, and following fashion trends closely.
