WOMENS DESIGN

Early in my career, I worked at Nanette Lepore, where I focused on embroidery and beadwork layouts for both woven and knitwear divisions. I managed projects from concept through final production—creating layout sketches, pitch sheets, and colorways, while sourcing trims and materials from New York’s local markets.

​

I collaborated closely with patternmakers to drape garment concepts and align embroidery placements, and I personally designed and hand-beaded samples for runway and ready-to-wear. This work also included contributing to the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter 2009 fashion shows, supporting all stages of show preparation.
