I am a recent graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in Textile Development and Marketing, where I gained valuable experience in product development, fashion merchandising, textile color matching, dyeing, finishing, knit and woven construction analysis, and TQM for textiles. My studies also included the use of design databases such as Stoll and Dobby Pro to create unique woven and knit constructions.For my senior capstone project, I collaborated with 5 other teammates to develop a commercially marketable fashion line. I was the Quality Assurance Manager and also managed the calculation of the final retail price for the garments. I also took charge of strategizing and conceptualizing the brand name while designing a distinctive logo. I am currently seeking opportunities in textile/or apparel product development, fashion styling, merchandising, design assistance, raw materials and textile coloring. I will strive to use my strong analytical and creative abilities to produce high quality, detail oriented solutions for the fashion/textile industry.
