About
Originally from Florence, Italy, I have over 15 years design experience in apparel design, for the past 10 years focusing on performance, outerwear and streetwear lifestyle. Currently looking for new opportunities.
I have an excellent understanding of the garment design and manufacturing process, from conceptualization to final assembly, and I create and adapt designs to changing market conditions and different target markets, for all categories.
I am fluent in all aspects of apparel design, as well as technical design and graphic/textile design, with a strong emphasis on sustainable resources and development.
