TEXTILE & APPAREL DESIGNER

I’m a textile and apparel designer working across digital garment development and physical textile construction. My work moves between CLO3D pattern development, virtual sampling, garment deconstruction, weaving, jacquard, dyeing, and material experimentation.

01 — INTRODUCTION

I’m a textile and apparel designer working across digital garment development and physical textile construction. My work moves between CLO3D pattern development, virtual sampling, garment deconstruction, weaving, jacquard, dyeing, and material experimentation.

I’m especially interested in how form, structure, and material translate between digital and physical environments—whether I’m reconstructing an existing garment as a digital twin, developing woven structures, or using CLO3D to explore forms that can later be tested through physical prototyping.

My process is research-driven and hands-on. I like understanding how things are built: studying construction, developing patterns, testing materials, refining structure, and documenting the decisions behind the final outcome. I’m especially interested in opportunities across textile design, technical design, and 3D apparel development.
