Open for Projects

Technical Drawings

I create detailed technical flats suitable for production and tech packs. These are ideal for design teams needing clear communication with pattern makers, manufacturers, or overseas production partners.

Sketching for Collection Development

I support the early stages of collection building with hand or digital fashion sketches that explore silhouettes, variations, and design directions helping design teams visualize and refine ideas before sampling.

Accessory & Branding Design

Brand perception lives in the details. Together, we explore design opportunities for branded accessories, trims, tags, packaging, or custom visual elements that strengthen your identity. After discussing your brand needs, positioning, and budget, I prepare a concept presentation to review and refine collaboratively.

Mood Boards & Storyboards

I develop seasonal mood boards and narrative driven storyboards based on your brand DNA and market positioning. These are useful tools for internal concept alignment or presenting a creative direction to buyers and stakeholders.

Social Media Management

Digital presence is an extension of your brand’s voice. I offer support in curating and managing social media content that aligns with your aesthetic, engages your audience, and maintains consistency across platforms.

Content Creation

From lookbook layouts to styled social media visuals, I bring a creative and strategic eye to content creation. The result: strong, on brand assets that communicate your story across channels.

Freelance Styling

Styling is storytelling. Whether for a campaign, lookbook, or collection reveal, I offer styling that aligns with your brand narrative and elevates the way your pieces are presented.

Photoshoot Styling

Collaborating with creative teams, I bring vision and cohesion to editorial or product shoots. From pre-shoot planning to on-set execution, I ensure the styling direction amplifies the mood and message of your collection.

Personal Shopper (Client Services)

For brands offering client styling or VIP retail experiences, I provide personal shopping support with a tailored approach. After an initial consultation, I develop a mood board based on individual style and brand alignment followed by a focused, curated shopping experience.
