About me
As an ambitious fashion designer and passionate product developer, I am building my career around assisting brands in the creation of innovative and quality driven product ranges. Specifically apparel, accessories and stationary. I come armed with a versatile
and specialised skill set that support and compliment my design and development abilities. I am creatively driven and very quality orientated when it comes to my work and the products that I design and develop. I have a distinguished background in product development and am well-versed in off-shore manufacturing. I am equally confident working autonomously or among a team. Combine these skills with my proficient sourcing capabilities and favourable negotiation skills and you will discover a very capable design and development specialist. ~ I am also organised, honest, hard working and great fun!
