With over 23 years experience in the Fashion industry, I have worked as both a Fashion (garment) & Textile designer for start up labels & established retailers across the globe.  With my Fashion design background comes an extensive knowledge of garment construction, which proves to be very valuable when designing textile prints for clothing.  My expertise is in technical placement prints & engineered designs as well as perfecting the scale and placement of yardage prints.  All print elements are originally hand drawn or painted, depending on the desired style.  I design to briefs or create concepts & designs that adhere to a brands aesthetic.  View my Design Portfolio
