An established Textile & Graphic Designer, with a Product Development and Trend Forecasting background. Designing for Womenswear, I have succeeded in creating commercial artworks for multiple Womenswear departments simultaneously; holding strong attention to detail & meeting strict deadlines within a fast paced environment. On a daily basis I conduct a true start to finish development process from trend research/analysis, creating colour palettes, CAD work (garment drawings), working autonomously on building product ranges and executing textile yardages and placement prints. In my previous experience as Designer/Product Developer I also sourced trims/fabrics, and liaised with off shore suppliers in regards to costings, timelines, samples and fits for production. To complement all of this – I love fashion! I have a keen and natural eye for trends which I am confident in applying into my design work whilst always protecting commerciality to suit the brands needs. I am a motivated, dynamic and creative designer seeking a challenging yet rewarding career. I believe that along with these skill sets, my strong communication skills and loyal team spirit I can succeed in achieving organizational goals.
