Available to hire
Hi, I’m Antonia Nae. I’m a fashion designer with a strong creative vision that balances aesthetics, functionality, and market needs. I enjoy leading end-to-end collection development—from moodboards and sketches to sourcing fabrics and creating technical packs—while blending couture craft with innovative digital tools.
I have hands-on experience across luxury couture internships and fast-fashion environments, collaborating with founders, marketing teams, and suppliers to deliver high-quality garments and compelling campaigns. I love sustainable fashion, storytelling through visuals, and continuously learning new techniques and software to push the boundaries of design.
