I create custom bridal and evening gowns through couture-inspired design, illustration, and garment construction.
What I'm looking for
I bring more than 10 years of fashion design experience to custom bridal gowns, eveningwear, tailored coats, pantsuits, and formalwear. I translate client visions into couture-inspired designs through hand-drawn sketches and thoughtful garment construction.
Since 2018, I’ve worked independently through Upwork and OLJ, managing projects from concept through final fitting. I create digital and traditional fashion illustrations, sketch proposals, technical flats, and custom figure illustrations for clients, designers, brands, and stylists.
Previously, I designed monthly collections at Plains & Prints, created detailed specification sheets, approved production samples, and developed custom prints. My background also includes merchandising at Primer Group of Companies, where I supported stock distribution, assortment sheets, brand metrics, and sales-trend analysis.
