"With over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, I specialize in collection development, garment construction, pattern development and grading, as well as professional consulting.
My career combines bespoke tailoring, costume design, fashion atelier leadership and technical pattern development. I bring both hands-on craftsmanship and technical expertise, with a strong understanding of fit, construction and the creative process behind each garment.
Today, I create sewing patterns on demand and support emerging designers by sharing my technical knowledge and experience, helping them turn their creative ideas into well-constructed, professionally developed garments."
Professional Experience
"Every project starts with understanding the design and its purpose.
I carefully develop the pattern, paying attention to proportions, construction, fabric andfit. The pattern is then tested and refined until the desired shape and fit are achieved.
For collections, patterns can be graded into different sizes and prepared for production."
Design → Pattern → Fit → Production

She is highly knowledgeable and a true professional in her field, always paying attention to even the smallest details. She thinks not only about how to create the patterns, but also about how the garment will actually come together in construction.”
