What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow further in the textile industry, creating textile and surface designs for hospitality and interior applications while contributing strong client service, presentation, and teamwork.

I've digitized running-line textile samples at F. Schumacher & Co., using AVA and Adobe Photoshop to produce seamless, repeatable files for hospitality interiors and industry printing standards.

I adapt existing designs to client requests, match colors precisely, and maintain organized physical and digital design archives. I also supported textile collection curation, presentation, buyer engagement, and sample requests at Creativo Design Studio's BLOQ shows.

My woven work was displayed at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, and I earned first place in WestPoint Home's “We Stand as One” design competition.

Alongside textile design, I've built three years of high-end hospitality experience at Nordstrom and Richard Sandoval Hospitality, bringing polished client service, teamwork, trend awareness, and presentation skills to creative work.
