With 12 years of experience in the contemporary apparel market I am highly proficient in all aspects of design; illustration, pattern making, draping and construction. Excellent communication skills, a close team work ethic and a directional fashion sense combine to create a hard working and insightful approach to product development. I aspire to the highest standards in creativity, quality and innovation. Having a large and diverse body of work, I am confident my design talent paired with my management experience, strong merchandising and business skills and my ability to handle multiple projects and tight deadlines have prepared me to be an effective design team leader.
