About
I am a designer and creative soul. My skills are unique and modern, while my aesthetic is rooted in all the ancient techniques that make my expertise in textile design distinct. Through my education I have gained a comprehensive understanding of design as a whole. From compositional awareness and color sense to skills like digital design and product planning, my expertise is broad. I currently apply this creativity and knowledge as an associate designer at Fossil Inc, working alongside the print design team.
Specialties: Ned Graphics, Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator,freestyle and registered screenprinting, weaving, creative and analytical writing -
