Apparel Graphic Designer

Creative & Design

I am a self motivated, accountable and driven creative with a background in apparel design, print illustration, print design, sales and customer service. I’m inspired by; traveling and seeing how other cultures approach their lifestyle, spending quality time with my friends and family, and my mom because she has the confidence to rock any style she wants. In my academic career; I graduated as a double major with a BFA in Graphic Design and a BFA in Illustration, and have furthered my education in Fashion Design. In my professional career; I have been working in the field of apparel, design, and production for over five years with both large and small businesses. Before I was a Designer, I was a sales manager for high-volume retail apparel stores (10+ million annual sales). This blend of retail and design has made me a process oriented and strategic data driven creative with a mass market eye that has an ever-present drive to learn and grow within the constantly changing design and fashion industry.
