I’m a fashion and graphic designer with 7+ years of professional experience in apparel design and brand development. I specialize in supporting fashion brands through the entire design process, not just individual visuals. From concept development to garment design, tech pack creation, embroidery and logo design, and styling direction, I help brands turn ideas into well-structured collections. My strength lies in understanding how clothes are actually designed and made, allowing me to create designs that are both creative and practical. I work with a brand-focused mindset, ensuring consistency across products, graphics, and styling. If you’re looking for a designer who can handle everything a fashion brand needs, from design planning to final visual direction, I’m here to help.

I am a garment product developer. I have experience in developing tops, dresses, outerwear, and bottoms for men’s and women’s. I also have experience in design - creating BOMs/design sketches and can help bring a garment to life.

I also work with a trusted network of manufacturing and production partners across Southeast Asia to help brands move efficiently from idea to reality.
