What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying 3D virtual-fashion tools to design-forward teams, where I can lead digital product development, improve workflows, mentor designers and create high-quality virtual garments and try-on experiences.

I am a multidisciplinary designer and artist focused on 3D apparel, virtual fashion and creative consulting, with experience across design, product development and digital visualization.

I have led 3D design and prototyping projects for brands and developed virtual garments, 3D try-ons, high-quality renders and design ranges while supporting sourcing, sampling and techpack creation.

I bring strong skills in CLO3D, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, trend forecasting, project management and team leadership, and I aim to apply 3D technology to streamline apparel production and enhance digital experiences.
