I create garments from concepts to real life samples. I’ll fit and iterate several samples before the design is finalized and send techpacks and samples to overseas factories.

I started working in the fashion industry in 2016 creating prints. I switched to technical design, building samples and creating tech packs. Then, accepted a patternmaking position to help enhance my understanding of construction, fit, and patternmaking.

I have associated fashion design degree. I am obsessed with fit and patternmaking, so, I continuously self-educate myself with books, practice, and application.
