I graduated with honors from the Columbus College of Art & Design in 2016 and have since worked with renowned companies to develop market-leading collections across various apparel categories. From swimwear and activewear to tailored dresses and menswear, I have extensive experience managing collections from initial concept through to production, including collaborating with overseas factories. 📚 Currently, I’m attending Parsons School of Design, pursuing a certificate in 3D CLO to expand my expertise in cutting-edge 3D design technology.

I charge an adjusted rate of $75/hour for 3D rendering-related work. 👚 Garment Manufacturing Services: While I am highly experienced and well-versed in the manufacturing process, my passion lies in designing rather than managing production. Manufacturing services-such as tech-pack emails, art files, fit calls, or fabric and trim sourcing-can be time-consuming and often extend over months or even up to a year, depending on the project. Due to the complexity and length of this process, I charge an adjusted rate of $65/hour for manufacturing-related work.
