What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on design roles focused on denim innovation, product development, and collaborative teams that value creativity, technical precision, and opportunities to lead capsule collections.

I am a fashion designer and denim artist with hands-on experience in denim innovation, product development, and surface techniques. I've contributed to seasonal collections at Levi Strauss & Co., leading SMU and Fashion Jeans projects, and supporting major capsules like LEVI’S X DILJIT and REDLOOP PREMIUM COLLECTION.

I combine creative concept-building and fabric exploration with technical precision—creating mood boards, sketches, tech packs, and denim wash and texture developments—while collaborating with vendors and prototype teams to meet brand standards and deliver customer-facing customization experiences.
