What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, offering opportunities for growth and innovation in fashion design.

I hold a Bachelor's in Fashion Design and am currently pursuing a Master's in Fashion Management with Marketing. My background in a family involved in design and manufacturing has provided me with valuable insights into both design and production processes. My final project, showcased at Graduate Fashion Week 2023, is now on display at the DMU Museum until January 2025, demonstrating my creative vision and technical skills.

Throughout my career, I have focused on expanding my portfolio through hands-on experience. I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and manual drawing skills, with a keen eye for trends and their commercial applications. I thrive in collaborative environments, value strong communication, and maintain a proactive, detail-oriented work ethic. My experience includes roles as a Customer Consultant and Apparel Design Team Assistant, where I successfully delivered visual merchandising and tailored customer experiences.
