SKILLS

Through the four-year Fashion Design & Technology program at the Wilson School of Design, I developed a strong balance of digital and hands-on technical skills. My experience includes Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Optitex, and CLO3D, alongside practical expertise in pattern drafting, industrial machine sewing, and knowledge of textile fibres and natural dye.

Technical Illustrations

Created in Adobe Illustrator, these technical flats from a range of projects showcase garments across categories including travel wear, formal wear, office wear, technical outerwear, and knit sports tops, complete with detailed views.

Capstone: Evara

Draped Set

Pattern Drafting, Fit, Measurement & Costing

Drafting patterns from blocks, measurements and inspiration garments, creating prototypes, fit revision, selecting fabrics and notions and creating tech packs and spec sheets.

CAD Drafting, Grading, Markers, Cost & Measurement Sheets

This project features a digitized motorcycle-style denim jacket, including grading and marker development in CAD (Optitex), along with a detailed measurement and costing sheet.

Clo 3D

Foundational skills in Clo3D, including drafting and editing patterns, importing assets, garment construction, and rendering digital prototypes.

Print & Knit Separation

This childrenswear print and knit spec pack showcases original prints developed from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, along with print separations and detailed knit and weave technical packages.

Other Areas of Interest

Fashion History

I have always been deeply interested in history, particularly as it relates to fashion. Through Fashion History I and Fashion History II, I have developed a strong understanding of key silhouettes across various eras, along with the cultural, social, and economic influences that shaped garment design and dress practices.

Textile Knowledge & Natural Dyes

Through the completion of Textiles & Technology I and II and Surface Design, I have developed a strong understanding of natural fibres, alongside hands-on experience with natural dye processes and silk screen printing developed from designs created in Adobe Illustrator.

I have always been interested in research, particularly in analyzing seasonal and long-term trends and using current events alongside historical patterns to inform forecasting predictions. This project, created in 2024, focuses heavily on STEPIC research to develop a forecast narrative, including two macro stories for Spring and Summer 2026.
