Design/Technical Designer

Creative & Design

I am a fashion designer not yet Sr level but not an assistant level either. I am ready and willing to put my skills to the test in any sort of graphics/fashion avenue.

I have now moved over to Design to work on an up and coming brand called Jet Setter. We are a contemporary Kids line and just launched a Contemporary Women's line. I am not handling all tasks first trough production. I have now assumed all duties that involve design and technical design. I am sourcing the best materials and treatments all over Los Angeles since it is very important to us to do production locally. We are a true California Brand made by California girls!!! We hope to see you in stores soon.

Sketch or draft apparel designs with computer aid software. Draw and design all Graphics for knitwear. Select textiles including fabrics, fasteners, and other raw materials for line. Present concepts to director and team. Continuously research trims and new ways to put them on garments. Work with dye house on new colors and treatments for Jersey. Oversee patternmakers, cutters and fittings first through production.

Knits/Graphic Designer

I now am working in the Technical department of an Athletic wear company. I create tech packs for over 10 labels, ensure all samples, trim artwork, threads, stitches and anything else is noted and pointed out. I am helping to organize my department so that it is more efficient and user friendly.
