My experience designing women’s ready to wear has covered a wide range of customers and garments including dresses, outerwear, eveningwear, and sportswear. I have experience with traditional fashion illustration techniques, Adobe Suite, Yunique PLM, patternmaking, draping, and textile design. I additionally have experience designing embroidery using traditional and digital mediums for creation on a Tajima TEMX-C1501. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Fashion and Textile Design from the College of Textiles at North Carolina State University.
My primary interests are in the creation of mood boards, illustration of garments, and silhouette design. I embrace teamwork with a diverse group to create a cohesive collection of designs, and I believe that collaboration is a necessity for a successful company. I view new challenges as a way improve my knowledge of my field, and I look forward to sharing my experiences in the future.
