About
With a solid and long lasting background in the fashion and textile industry ,and a passion for pattern making, garment design,grading and sizing, fitting, prototyping technical specifications, introduction in production, I am confident that my skills and expirience can guide you through the process.
Having worked over twenty years on different segments in the industry ,i have gained extensive knowledge in designing, educating others, implementing, managing and controling quality. My expertise lies in analyzing production processes ,identifying process problems and developing innovative solutions to enhance productivity.
Throughout my career ,I have demonstrated expertise in Product development and innovations in the fashion and textile industry.
One of my significant achievements includes entire product development of innovative project for the Motorcycle Protective Classy BLAZER BRUMMELL". In this project I worked as a lead product designer where I led the process from idea to sale. In this role, in addition to creating the pattern, technically designing and prototyping the product,grading,sourcing materials I successfully collaborated with the production team, the seam testing team and the blazer testing team with the most rigorous procedure: The Darmstadt Testing Procedure. Throughout the process, with my experience and expertise, I contributed to the seam testing and technical design of the blazer and equipment successfully passing the testing the first time, which reduced the cost by at least 50%, reduced the costs by 30% in the fit and size testing process of the prototypes and reduced the costs by 20% with regular quality control.
Furthermore, besides many freelancing projects in the same positions and roles, I have worked for many years as a collaborator in the fashion company "Bella", again in the positions of pattern maker, educating the team for the full process of production and outsorsing, fitting as well as technical consultations.
In addition, in my technical skills, I am a team player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. I am confident that my positive attitude and strong work ethics will make me a valuable addition for your project.
