Streetwear Apparel Designer & Pattern Developer

Victoria Cossy • Self-employed

Aug 2020 - Present • 6 yrs 2 mos

Worked across streetwear graphic design and garment pattern development, translating concepts, sketches, and visual references into apparel graphics and technical pattern work. My work includes T-shirt graphics, hoodie artwork, clothing patterns, and pattern grading for streetwear garments such as cargos. Each project begins with the intended style, garment type, audience, and practical requirements in mind. For graphic design projects, I develop visual concepts using typography, illustration, placement, and color to support a clothing brand’s identity. I consider how artwork reads on a garment, how front and back designs work together, and how details contribute to a consistent collection. I prepare files according to the agreed deliverables and intended print use. For technical projects, I use garment references, sketches, and measurements to develop clothing patterns and grading for streetwear pieces. I pay attention to proportions, construction details, pattern-piece relationships, and sizing requirements so the design intent is clearly represented in the deliverables. I also clarify project requirements and keep communication organized throughout the process. Working across creative and technical tasks has shaped a versatile approach to apparel development, from refining an initial idea to preparing graphic or pattern files. I value detail, consistent visual direction, and clear coordination. My goal is to provide considered work that reflects each client’s concept and supports their next step, whether they are preparing a new drop, developing one garment, or building a cohesive streetwear range. I keep briefs clear and deliverables aligned with the project needs.
