    If you need help with the fleshing out your idea and all of the technical parts of your design project, I can help! I bring ideas to life by using a combination of 3D visualizations and physical prototypes to develop concepts. I create the technical sketches, tech packs, spec sheets, BOMs, and digitized patterns that are needed to get from concept to factory prototype and final production. I can also create 3D visualizations that can be used for marketing and e-commerce. Throughout my career as a freelance designer, I've recognized that most clients typically approach me already having a good idea about the design or product that they’re trying to bring to life. While providing creative direction and feedback is important, I’ve found that the most important thing that the client needs is a designer with a strong technical foundation to serve as the product engineer in bringing their ideas to life. I specialize in designing and developing niche products with user centered details. Are you working on a complex or unusual project? I can help with refining and fleshing out all of the aesthetic and technical details of your idea. If you have an innovative product that needs some work, please reach out to me. I'm also a sweater nerd who obsessively knits and crochets. I have a strong knowledge of sweater construction, finishes, stitches, and yarns, experience working with sweater and knitwear factories, 3D (whole garment) knitting machines and hand-knitting production. If you have a sweater or knitwear project in mind, please reach out to me! Experience and Skilled in Tech Packs, Patterns and 3D renderings for: Sweaters Hooded Sweatshirts (Hoodies) and T-shirts Casual Dresses Lounge sets and Casual wear Accessories (Woven and Leather handbags and eyewear) Furniture Stationery and Desktop Accessories Hard-goods (Glass, metal, plastic and wooden products)

    Hi! I’m a graphic designer in Los Angeles. While new to Upwork, I have 15+ years of experience in apparel graphics, tech packs, logo design, typography, art direction, branding, print design, and social media work. For most of my career I have worked in the fashion industry designing for household names like Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, TopShop, Forever 21, Free People, Rebel Yell, Local Celebrity, and Altru Apparel. I currently design the private label Truly Madly Deeply for Urban Outfitters and t.la for Anthropologie. I’m here to elevate your idea and bring it to life! My normal process is simple and straightforward: you present the project, and I build a mood board of inspiration (concepts + verbiage + bodies + color). When we are on the same page, I start creating. Throughout this phase I will present rough ideas, and you will decide which graphic to move forward with or if more exploration is necessary. We address color/size options until you are happy with the outcome… and voila! SKILLS - T-shirt graphics for all genders - Print and pattern/textile design - Logo design - Brand consultation/development - Creative direction - Print - posters, trade show graphics, fliers, stickers, brochures - Layout - business cards, websites, magazines - Social media - photography, content, stories and reels - Time efficient with a sense of humor ;)
