About me
Jewellery and Accessories Designer with several years experience Designing for brands such as Swarovski, Elena Miro', Warehouse, Debenhams, Liz Claiborne's brand Mexx Europe, Tateossain and Lara Bohinc. With 10 years experience Designing and developing Jewellery collections for the High End market I Design using Rhino3D, Illustrator and Photoshop Cad programs as much as by hand sketching. Using both a critical eye for detail and lots of creativity I have experience understanding customers' needs and delopping collections according to market trends and brands placement on the Fashion scene. In all the roles assigned to myself I was constantly updated about fashion trends and markets and worked in close relationship with fashion buyers and merchandisers. Moreover I followed the Product development of all collections designed and had daily correspondence with suppliers and vendors of the Far East and Europe.
