About me

I have a vast knowledge in all areas of surface design and embroidery production for the Couture and Ready to Wear Industry. Working directly with international suppliers, I also manage budgets and schedules without restricting the creative outcome, focusing on providing design alternatives that improve quality and efficiency for final production.
