I am an ambitious experienced Fashion Designer, willing to move on to a new exciting opportunity and to grow in a creative and challenging environment maximising my professional skills.
Art, photography and cinema have always been my constant source of inspiration as well as nature. Detail is always primary in my research and in my normal way of working. Inspiration has a constant daily presence in my life.
Throughout my university and academic courses, I had the possibility to understand and develop my fashion vision and style, and create my final project, where I utilized in most of the collections a mix and match of prints and colours, while keeping a unique elegance both in Womenswear and in Menswear.
My two internships have been important steps towards my career and they increased my academic bases. Above all, the second one gave me the opportunity to work in all the production areas, from deciding on designs and fabrics to assisting with cutting and distribution, which honed my technical and creative skills.
The most meaningful stage in my professional path started when the company in which I used to be an intern in 2016 offered me a position as a Womenswear Designer. With all my enthusiasm I accepted and started this new adventure.
Since then, I have been increasing all my Fashion Designer skills, and I have been gaining self-confidence on managing and accomplishing projects, from the creation to the production. I have been processing my own design ideas, from the fabric choice, creating sketches and technical packs, fitting and amending the samples, deciding and organising trims to the top final products manufacture.
I consider myself a modest person and I am willing to give the best of myself on every occasion and I am also an ambitious one. My goal is to gain a complete experience as a Senior Designer to be able to head a team and be at the service of a successful brand.
I am aware of the responsibility and opportunities available to qualified fashion designers nowadays and I look forward to bringing to my new team my background and my creative vision and to seizing a new challenge in a company that is a world leader in the fashion industry.
