About
My experience in the fashion industry includes various design and production positions in both Los Angeles and New York City. These experiences have expanded my knowledge of the apparel industry and have prepared me to be an integral member of any design team.
In my previous roles, I've been able to fully utilize my skills in fashion design to aid designers in developing collections and product lines. I've been involved in every step of the design process: from design development and presentation, to manufacturing and production, and even some sales and distribution. I've worked with both small and large companies that have given me a well-rounded set of experiences in the industry. -
