Additional Information

  • I currently work for a company who produces work uniforms for a variety of professions. I work there as a Fashion Designer and Pattern Technichian. My role is not just to design pieces that my clients will absolutely love, but to also create the pattern for them and follow it through the sampling stage until the very end. I am highly involved in the design process, and I am familiar with all the stages from creating initial design boards till the final samples. I have good knowledge on upcoming trends, a good eye for colours and I always put my own creative twist on things while still meeting the clients' needs. I previously worked as a Sewing Machinist and besause of that I understand how garments are made and how to create designs that are fit for mass production.
