Profile
As both a designer and entrepreneur, I understand the importance of meeting expectations and of producing a quality product or idea. My approach and strong work ethic, ensure a keen eye for detail and accuracy. Additionally, my formal training in fashion design and garment construction, gives me the unique ability to not only conceptualize a piece, but also the ability to translate that vision into a reality for my clients or employer. As such, it is my goal to work with every clients unique requirements to create a beautiful, pleasing, and effective product.
