Sofia Ribeiro Email & Phone Number

Ever since I was 5 years old, I would create "design lines" on sheets of paper I folded into four squares- mostly they were princess themed, but they were complete looks with accessories. I sat for hours watching Bob Ross and painting happy trees, rocks, and streams with my crayons. I designed outfits for my dolls. I can't imagine this innate creative trajectory would have led me anywhere other than here. I am a creative, inspired, women's sportswear designer with 10+ years of design experience. I am passionate about my job and I love what I do. I create wearable, functional, cost-effective designs that appeal to a variety of ages and life-stages. I love immersing myself in all of the creative aspects of my business- putting together compelling design presentations and style concepts each season is the best part of my job. Seeing those through to execution and having them succeed, is even better. If you want to get something done, you come to me. The word "no" doesn't play a big role in my vocabulary. I am a strong collaborator and team player, extremely organized, detail oriented, and hard-working individual that tackles projects head on. I also value the same respect, integrity, creativity, and strong work ethic in others, and am adept at forging great business relationships.Finally, here are some skills I'm really great at.
