My experience has given me a thorough understanding of the design process, from research and initial design to tech pack development, and working with production teams and manufacturers to create the best possible results. I understand that the industry is fast-paced and requires a lot of determination and perseverance to get the job done. I’m very motivated about my work and strive for quality in everything I do. My experience has taught me; quick problem-solving, excellent multitasking, and time management skills, and the ability to work well with a team.

After working for several brands, I entered into freelance to broaden my work opportunities globally, focusing on fashion and graphic design. During this time, I did work for Bottega Veneta, and Saint Laurent, and became the head designer of an emerging luxury menswear brand, working closely with the creative director to develop designs, prints, fabrics, and embroideries for each collection.

I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York with a degree in Menswear Fashion Design before moving to Milan to complete a Masters in Menswear at the Istituto Marangoni.
