In my own words

Jacky

As an experienced fashion and technical designer, I excel in creating innovative and detailed garment designs.

My skills include sketching, fabric selection, pattern development, and collaborating with production teams. I am highly organized, capable of working independently or with a team. My experience allows me to adapt existing trends while maintaining a positive and solution-oriented approach to fashion design.
