Due to the rigorous nature of my coursework as an FIDM Fashion Design major combined with my professional experience, organization and time-management come second nature to me.

I also know how to make patterns using Gerber technology and Microsoft Office for tech packs and data entry. Over the last years, I've been successful in designing and selling custom pieces, including sweaters, dresses and handbags via social networking. I can spend hours on the Internet performing extensive trend and market research. I am a social networker and keep up with the latest in music, fashion and entertainment. I’ve developed and embedded a keen perspective in design and visual placement and can carefully follow company guidelines. I've held an Assistant title both in on-set production and styling for credible designers such as Alexander McQueen and Olivier Theyskens. I've also had the opportunity to work as an Assistant Stylist for Emjay Style in which I did everything from create seasonal look books to personal shopping at designer boutiques and department stores for high-profile clients. I am a very creative, forward-thinking individual and have always been able to produce quality work. On any given project, I am able to work effectively in a team setting as well as take initiative as an individual. I am comfortable in a fast-paced work environment and I believe my style, work ethic and creative vision are very compatible.
