I help apparel brands turn designs into production-ready garments — from concept to accurate patterns and detailed tech packs. Skilled in CLO3D, TukaCAD, garment construction, and grading, I deliver files your manufacturer can use right away, saving time and avoiding costly errors. What I do best: • Patterns & grading for perfect fit • Detailed tech packs with measurements, BOMs, and diagrams • 3D visualization in CLO3D to approve designs before sampling • Design refinement for style and functionality With years of hands-on work creating custom garments — from drafting patterns to sewing prototypes — I understand the full process and how to make designs factory-ready without surprises. Let’s create apparel that looks great, fits perfectly, and is ready for production.

I am a versatile and passionate designer and illustrator with extensive experience in designing for a wide variety of applications, including packaging, print collateral, fabric/textiles, and web. My love of design began with the over-the-top, unquestionably 1980’s rainbow wallpaper in my childhood bedroom. It inspired in me a love of color, pattern, and shape that’s only grown over the years and has driven me to create engaging and inspiring designs of my own. I passionately believe in the power of illustration and design to transform spaces, simplify communications, and build relationships. For more than 10 years I worked in the printed graphics industry, running a print shop that produced marketing and event collateral, large-scale signage, environmental graphics, and more. As a result I thrive working within tight deadlines, and I bring my technical knowledge of finished products to bear in my design work, ensuring that my designs are print-friendly. When I’m not in the studio, I’m probably outdoors. My family and I have camped our way across the 48 contiguous states and climbed mountains, hiked canyons, rafted rivers, visited presidential wax museums, and snuck into two ivy league colleges...so far.

I am a graphic designer with experience in print and digital platforms. I really enjoy text heavy projects such as magazines, books, brochure or flyers, but also find creativity in logo design. Since starting my own small business in January 2021 I have found that I enjoy a challenge and am willing to be pushed out of my comfort zone to give clients exactly what they want.
