About
I am a apparel designer and product developer
I have a certificate in fashion design and experience in all aspects of apparel development, including design, pattern making, construction & alterations, tech pack development, sourcing, communication and with both domestic and overseas manufacturers, and creating marketing materials such as prints, hang-tags, labels and shopping bags.
Having worked for design start-ups and small businesses throughout my career I'm familiar with the self-motivation, entrepreneurial spirit, communication and dedication required to bring success to every project I work on and company I work with.
I look forward to hearing from you! -
