What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can develop knitwear and textile designs end-to-end, contribute to color and pattern systems, collaborate across design and production, and deliver commercially viable collections in a creative, growth-oriented team.

I am a textile designer with a focus on knitwear innovation and practical product development, combining academic training from BIFT with hands-on industry experience. I have designed for US retail clients, created tech packs and BOMs, produced over 100 color separation artworks, and supported runway and commercial collections.

My work spans trend analysis, color systems, pattern and artwork creation, production follow-up, and new-media communication. I balance creativity with manufacturability, driving projects from concept through sampling and delivery while optimizing for cost, quality, and brand requirements.
