I’m a versatile apparel and surface pattern designer with a strong foundation in fashion design. I excel at turning creative concepts into production-ready tech packs, patternmaking, and garment construction details, while collaborating with cross-functional teams and overseas vendors to bring products to market.
With hands-on experience in 3D design, knitwear, and patterning across PLM and CAD tools, I deliver accurate fittings, clean documentation, and adaptable seasonal collections. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy mentoring teammates to improve process efficiency and quality.
