I successfully accomplished my bachelors degree in Fashion Design from The Art Institute of Indianapolis. I have acquired adequate skills in producing garments from concept to completion. I have been formally trained in patternmaking, construction, concept development, fashion illustration, and technical design. I have experience in Gerber Accumark Pattern Design Software and Pattern-making is my strongest area in fashion design. I am able to efficiently progress through each step of the design process.
I am seeking an opportunity in pattern making/pattern design -"challenge where all the ideas have to go through to become real".
