Fashion Design & Technical Development Specialist I bridge the gap between creative vision and industrial reality. My expertise lies in the dual mastery of aesthetic fashion design and the rigorous engineering of industry-standard Tech Packs. I specialize in transforming conceptual sketches into production-ready blueprints that ensure fit, functionality, and brand consistency. Core Design Philosophy My design process is rooted in flat 2D illustration. By focusing on clean, proportional sketches, I eliminate ambiguity. Whether developing technical outerwear, structured denim, or refined evening wear, I prioritize silhouettes that empower the wearer. My experience includes: Trend Synthesis: Translating global shifts into commercial, wearable collections. Materiality: Deep knowledge of fabric behavior, from indigo denim shrinkage to synthetic insulation in puffers. Iterative Design: Rapidly modifying silhouettes and colorways (like shifting from navy to blue denim) to meet market demands. Technical Engineering (Tech Packs) I view a Tech Pack as the essential contract between design and manufacturing. My packs are built to minimize sampling errors and reduce production waste. Key technical skills include: Technical Callouts: Comprehensive detailing of hardware, stitching (e.g., twin-needle, overlock), and trim. Bill of Materials (BOM): Managing complex sourcing lists to ensure every thread and button is accounted for. Spec Sheets & POM: Developing precise "Point of Measure" guides and size grading to maintain fit integrity across all sizes. Sample Management: Leading the "fit-to-finish" process, analyzing prototypes, and providing corrective feedback to factories to achieve the perfect final sample. By integrating CAD precision with a designer’s eye, I deliver "ready
