What I'm looking for
I am a self-taught textile pattern designer, passionate about creating original motifs for fashion accessories and garments. My work is deeply rooted in African culture — masks, symbols, traditions, and colors — which I reinterpret with a modern and elegant touch.
I have developed my skills using vector tools such as Inkscape and GIMP, through hands-on projects and continuous learning. I create print-ready files (PNG, SVG, EPS) with seamless repeats, adapted to products like ties, bow ties, scarves, and other accessories.
Beyond design, I have experience managing a small retail business, which gave me a strong understanding of customer relations, market dynamics, and project coordination.
I am passionate about drawing, fashion trends, African textiles, and entrepreneurship. I am currently working toward launching my own tailoring workshop in the near future.
I am looking for a remote position where I can bring creativity, reliability, and a fresh perspective to a design team, while continuing to grow and learn in the textile design field.
