What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create trend-led, commercially relevant apparel graphics and prints, shaping seasonal directions and products from concept through development while collaborating closely with brands, suppliers, and product teams.

I've created trend-led apparel prints, graphics, and capsule collections for River Island, Zara, Zalando, Next, Jack Wills, Disney, Inditex, Urban Outfitters, Topman, Pull&Bear, Bershka, and H&M.

At Nitex, I led the Print & Graphics team, set seasonal creative direction for menswear, and managed product critical paths with development teams in Turkey and Bangladesh. I developed placement-print ideas, sourced new techniques, and contributed to commercially successful styles with repeat orders across multiple seasons.

As a freelance print and graphic designer, I research macro and micro trends, build seasonal directions, and deliver print specifications and artwork packs for development and production.

My approach combines streetwear and lifestyle awareness with detailed product knowledge, from fabrics and garment construction to CADs, tech packs, sampling, and supplier communication.
