About
During my role at New York’s finest fashion brands, I was responsible for all aspects of design process. For each season I created color palettes, collaborated with sales team and developed a design direction, created CADS, graphic sketches tech packs for production and communicated with overseas factories and Japanese mills in order to provide authentic Japanese fabrics for seasonal designs. I worked in various areas of design and this helped me develop a keen sense for design trends in different product areas. Even though I was mainly focused on clothing, I was nominated by Independent Handbag Designer awards with the leather handbag I have designed for Guess brand.
