More Information
I seek the opportunity to grow within a company that is open to new ideas and challenges, and to learn while providing the essential support needed to produce the best and most successful collections season by season. I have many years of experience in illustration and design, with a background in both Fine Art and Fashion Design. I am fully trained and up to date in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and have had multiple internships and some freelance experience within the fashion industry. I am deeply involved in New York\'s current art and fashion culture, and as a designer I aim to offer the best of my knowledge towards the creation and design of fashion collections.
