About

I am a fashion designer with experience in pret-a-porter and couture.

My strong side as a designer is combining the knowledge of cla

...

ssic tailoring techniques, cut and draping with the sense of modernity and experimentation. I have got a good technical base, a strong sense for the quality of fabrics and materials as well as passion for traditional craftsmanship and finding original ways to construct and design garments. As a former visual communications designer I am interested not only in designing clothing but to be part of a team who creates a unique and culturally powerful image and translates it in a new and contemporary way. Being highly skilled in computer graphics allows me to work on many levels of the design process from creating prints and embroidery to visualisation of any creative ideas.

Quick learner, curious, thorough and responsible. Profoundly dedicated to work. Positive spirit, cooperative, enjoy team work. Appreciate good sense of humor.
