I am an emerging apparel designer with a strong foundation in technical design, patternmaking, and product development, with hands-on experience spanning womenswear, materials sourcing, and garment construction. My work is driven by a precise approach to fit, silhouette development, and garment engineering, ensuring both aesthetic refinement and functional integrity. I bring extensive practical expertise in sewing, pattern development, and textile selection, allowing me to translate concepts seamlessly from design through production.

​

Alongside my design background, I offer a business-minded perspective shaped by founding and managing a successful boutique brand. This experience has strengthened my understanding of branding, merchandising, and consumer-focused design, enabling me to create thoughtful, feminine collections that balance creativity with commercial viability.
