In My Own Words

With a freshly minted Advanced Associates Degree in Fashion/Apparel Design from FIDM, my journey has evolved from conceptualizing collection themes to mastering the art of pattern making. My recent role as a Pattern Maker has honed my skills in developing patterns from initial samples to final garments, ensuring each piece fits impeccably on the model.

Previously, as a Fashion Designer at FIDM, I navigated the challenges of creating a 16-garment collection under tight budgetary and time constraints. The success of this endeavor not only showcased my garment construction acumen but also reflected my ability to source materials efficiently and manage projects with precision. My passion lies in bringing innovative designs to life, marrying creativity with technical proficiency.
