SYNOPSIS
I am a highly accomplished professional, hand's on, organized fashion designer and dress maker. With an analytical and methodical approach to problem solving and the ability to work under pressure to any deadlines and budgets required.
Meeting clients, working to either their design requirements or to mine. Currently I am working on my own collection of designs to hopefully put on show in the very near future.
My ultimate goal is to work with a known fashion house enabling me to show my capabilities in the fashion design industry possibly starting as an assistant to an established designer.
