    With over 10 years working in the apparel industry, I've had the privilege of juggling many hats.

    My experience spans men and women, boys and girls, cut & sew, knits, denim, print and graphic design, CAD design, trend research, sourcing, and pricing.

    My organizational skills and ability to establish and implement effective operation protocols have minimized sampling waste, aided in better sales, and fewer production delays.

    My former position as a senior designer pushed me to manage multiple brand identities and adhere to individual calendars simultaneously.

    My expertise extends to all current industry-specific software, including all Adobe formats (PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign), PLM, and Kaledo Knit & Weave. I am also proficient in Microsoft Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

    I also have years of experience developing prints from concept design, runway inspiration, purchased and manipulated prints, re-coloring, re-sizing, both large and small scale repeats, sublimation, and placement.

    I meet all tasks, easily adhere to deadlines, and can work on many projects simultaneously. I work well by myself and with a team. I have a great work attitude and would be a great addition to any team.
