I am a driven professional with comprehensive expertise in patternmaking, garment construction, and establishing and maintaining measurement specifications. I possess the ability to identify and correct issues that impede successful production and aesthetic intent of apparel design. With more than 5 years of experience, I have the expertise as a Technical Designer and Product Developer to effectively communicate design and pattern revisions with overseas vendors and hold grade rule and tolerance standards accountable with multiple vendors. I also have experience with MOQ and Costing negotiation and Technical Package creation.
