    I am a Fashion Designer specialising in footwear. Previously Head of Design at premium men’s brand Oliver Sweeney, overseeing the design process for all footwear, apparel and accessories. I am now working on a freelance basis on design, development, and production for various brands and I specialise in working through the entire design process; creative direction / mood boards / sketching / CADs / colour-ups / rendering / specs / tech packs / sourcing / development / production. I currently work with a wide-range of brands covering sports, casual, formal and specialist types of footwear. I have a proven track record of taking concepts to mass production for established brands as well as start ups. My high degree of technical knowledge means that I can help to make designs fit the design brief but also ensure that they are realistic for production, and fit to a specified cost. I have extensive supplier knowledge in relation to manufacture and materials, meaning that I can offer real world advice on how to source and manufacture great product. I also have extensive knowledge of sustainability considerations within design and development and can help brands realise their goals in this regard.

    Hi! I'm a freelance designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a BA in Textile and Fashion Design and a Digital Marketing specialization. As a professional designer. I have more than ten years of experience designing and developing handbags and small accessories collections for fashion brands from concept to production (startups and existing brands).

I can help you with: - Fashion design: Design of bags and small accessories collections / Print design / Technical Illustration. - Fashion Photo Retouching / Editing. - Graphic Content Creation on social media for fashion and beauty brands.

    Very soon, self-regulation of sustainability will no longer be optional. Why not start your brand taking this into consideration? Digital product passports that provide consumers with detailed information about the recyclability, durability, reusability, and repairability of clothing and accessories are expected to become required by law. Let me help you turn your idea into a product suitable for this new reality. My name is Daria Zinoveva-Princey, Vogue Italia Talent selected fashion designer and illustrator, The Best in Industry - Fida Awards Selected Artist 2023 , "Sustainability and Wool" specialist certified by Woolmark. Together with Tech Packs EU and February First®, we have created more than 1,000 top-notch tech packs over the past eight years. I have worked for brands like Gucci, Haider Ackermann, Marc Jacobs and A.W.A.K.E. Our designs were worn by Johnny Weir and Lady Gaga and became part of Vogue Italia and Blanc Magazine editorials. We help creative businesses with fashion collections development from concept ideas till first samples. My main speciality is sustainable high-end fashion designs (menswear, activewear, womenswear, kidswear, lingerie, accessories, jewellery, packaging and textile). I genuinely believe that the most sustainable thing is a high quality product and do not work with fast fashion projects, non ethical manufacturers and toxic textiles. I'm passionate about using my high fashion expertise for meaningful change through social projects, creating clothes for individuals with diverse needs, designs that empower and include everyone. How to tech pack sustainably? 1. We don't use templates and draw every garment from scratch. This world doesn't need any more copies. Let's create something precious. Please do not underestimate the drawing process: if the line looks weak in the drawing it will most definetely look weak when the garment is sampled. 2. Sustainable textiles and finishings is our main speciality. 3. Our tech packs contain information about how garments can be recycled in future. 4. Today textile choice is not only about fabric composition details but also about high performance knitting/weaving. We could help with this. 5. We don't use "reference garments". 3d illustrations allow to reduce sampling time without overconsumption and disrespect to other designers' intellectual property. Price/time estimates for our most demanded serices 550$ 1 basic tech pack - 3 working days 500$ initial sketches starter pack (10-20 sketches) - 5 working days 450$ material research - 4 working days

    Having moved to NYC at the age of 17, I have spent years immersing myself into many facets of design, which has given me a very particular, yet expanding, ability to delegate my skills to benefit other businesses in visual merchandising. I truly believe that store windows and layouts deeply affect foot traffic from the standpoint of a store explorer and strictly from a business mind. Many stores that are not the traditional mainstream stores really benefit from design that speaks to their business, while maintaining a budget that suits the business. I love to find anything that can be used throughout the space in many seasons, as it creates a cohesive story of the shop, while utilizing the budget wisely. I believe in speaking life into the space with plants (often using dried varieties from the Flower District) and making the space seem more inviting. I find that with the social media culture that we live in, traction comes when the space feels like you can feel comfortable spending time there and a warm welcoming space. I work in textiles and work deeply with following color stories and trend forecasting. This has really helped me expand my horizon for creating a meaningful visual story. I have planned events in the past, should there be an opportunity to do so- many that follow holidays and even assisted with pop-up shops, which need immediate appeal due to the fleeting nature of the shop. I have helped with brand development and building two websites through Square Space that are clean, concise and interesting to view. I have experience with helping build up social media profiles and making them reflect the brand. My degree is where I get my technical training for Fashion Design and I do have access to my own sewing studio for that. I have experience with pattern making and draping. I have created a few tech packs for my own design, which range from childrenswear to women's ready-to-wear. I have experience with many facets of design, which has helped me with a very well-rounded view of every aspect of jobs that I have acquired and made me an asset to the team. I do believe that true, beautiful design brings in the sought after market. I am so happy to extend what I have learned to you and learn more as I go along.

    Why am I a stylist? Growing up in fashion capitals Buenos Aires, NYC, and Miami, I’ve always always been intrigued by what people are wearing. Being a size 12 myself, I have not always been able to find the right pieces to be truly self-expressive. I have always sought to to apply my expertise in fashion design to create a friendly and positive experience that will inspire others to always look their best and fully express themselves no matter what size they are.  I am a firm believer that when you look good you feel good, and vice versa. My goal is to educate others on how to look their best to maximize both their inner and outer potential.  Whether I’m styling a fashion editorial or guiding a personal client, I have the ability to elevate looks while staying true to my client’s aesthetics. My goal is to teach my clients how to shop and how to put outfits together in a non-complicated and non-overwhelming way. When I guide my clients, their self confidence grows, and the beauty is that it shows throughout what they wear. I serve each client seriously with compassion, support and empathy. When I put outfits together, I create a story of self-identity. Textile & Fashion Designer: I have been a professional in the fashion and media industry for over a decade. I am a graduate of the Ai Miami International School of Art & Design and hold a Bachelors degree in Fashion Design. My experience includes fashion apparel design, textile design, art direction and fashion styling. Customer care is a priority, and I am very responsive and open to feedback. My goal is to blend my creativity with my client's vision to come up with the best outcome designs. I am passionate about design, and I am committed to delivering only high quality work and a positive experience for my clients. What I can provide for you: * Textile Design

    I’m an Industrial Designer, Footwear Designer, Product Developer with broad experience helping companies design and develop footwear and other products. In a bigger sense, I help brands grow their market share, satisfy customers and increase profits by generating new revenue streams with competitive high-value high margin products. For the first 10 years of my career, I was a Product Designer, Design Engineer and Project Manager focused on manufacturing, cost, quality, and ergonomics in the Ceilings, Housewares, and Marine industries. This is where I became exposed to Engineering, Science, and R&D and developed a love of materials, solving problems and building things - on the shop floor, working with engineers, craftsmen, and factory workers to improve quality while optimizing production and manufacturability issues for existing products while developing new products. In 2000 I entered the fast-paced Footwear Industry, coordinating, designing and developing, working daily with and traveling to factories in Asia and South America. Still working with technical development, tooling, manufacturing, production, quality, and cost, but now also dealing with fashion and how products fit on the human body, technical materials for comfort, performance and sustainability. My 20+ years of experience in the Footwear and Apparel Industry includes working with retailers, corporate global brands, licensed brands such as Cole Haan, Kenneth Cole, Ninewest, Easyspirit, Sperry, And1, Avia, Everlast as well as startups, inventors and working as an expert witness in the legal realm. My main focus has been Designing, Technical Development, Line Building, Merchandising, Trend Research, Brand Strategy, Sourcing, Manufacturing and fitting, and I have been involved in commercializing thousands of products from concept thru to production, including contributing to several footwear patents. My greatest value to you will be as an advisor, helping to guide you and your footwear brand by listening to your situation and giving you the reality of what you're facing - the pros and cons, to help you make the best decisions to move forward, selecting the right materials, finding the best fit factory and then developing prototypes, samples and then getting to production. For real solutions to design, development, costing, fitting, sourcing, quality issues and more, you need more than an illustrator/sketcher/designer. That's where I can help you the most. I do sketch and create illustrations, but there's a lot more to footwear design and development than just that. I'm available for phone/video consultations, one time or weekly for just a few hours if that's all you need, or more for ongoing questions and answers. I look forward to hearing from you to discover what it is you need help with. Buy an hour of my time so we can discuss your project and I can give you an idea of what will be involved, some of the pitfalls you may face, and reveal the process that works, as well as likely costs en route to production. Once we are through that, if you have more questions or specifics you need to dig into to start the process or to solve issues, or even to evaluate your current shoes and chart a course forward, I suggest we start a project based on a set number of hours per biweekly or monthly period, and we can tackle issues as needed. I also know all about CAD and 3d Printing, and we can go that route if thats needed, but often times this is not a critical tool in the process. I can explain on our call. I look forward to speaking with you and helping you move forward!
