Apparel Design / Development
I have worked as a Apparel Designer and Developer for over eight years. For six of those years I worked at Columbia Sportswear one of the leading Outerwear companies in the Industry. While there I had the opportunity to work on Baselayer, Technical Outerwear and everything in-between. Some of my strengths include creating concepts, technical sketches, tech packs, BOMs, color theory, and spec sheets. Over the years I have been able to develop my creative side along with my technical skills which lends my talents to various projects.
