Dear Geometry:

Hello.  I have been creating outstanding Tech Packs since 1997 and would love to Freelance for Geometry.  Here are a few of the companies I have created TP’s for:

1997 for Tommy Hilfiger on a proprietary Design system, then called ISIS, continuing thru 2005.  Of the 90 Technical Designers with the company, I was one of four who were allowed to adjust the Grade Rules.

Next, Andrew Marc, first in Excel, then PDM.  90% of my proto specs came out well the first time.  I created all of the Grade Rules for Women, Plus, and Girls.  Patternmaking was also a big part of my work.

Third, Calvin Klein Performance in Excel. SMS Specs and Grade Rules for Outerwear and lots of Grading.

Fourth, The. Arrivals in Word, Excel, Illustrator, and PDF.  I standardized their grades by comparing industry standards, and applying to Men, Women, and Unisex.

Ralph Lauren working in Web PLM for Women’s Collection Sweaters from Proto thru Production Approval;  also Patternmaking and Grading.

Then it was back to Tommy Hilfiger Sport working in Flex PLM for Proto specs, grades, and Approval to Production, as well a patternmaking.

My Freelance position with FILA Tennis was also in Flex PLM.

Please note I can provide you samples of my Tech Packs upon Request.

Thank you for your consideration,
