About me
Hi, I'm Elizabeth.
I have been a fashion designer for over 10 years and bring ample experience and creativity to the table. I've designed for Brands such as American Rag Cie., Polly & Esther, and Love By design. These brands are sold at Macy's, Bon Ton, Belk, Nordstrom, and other fine retailers. I also design my own line of women's tops called Life Eclectic Apparel that are sold in over 7 boutiques /surf shops in New York and Florida.
I am very experienced in all women's categories: (Tops, Bottoms, Dresses, Jackets) and in Woven and Knit. I am very capable of every aspect of Apparel design, from initial design sketches (from original inspiration) to the final production process. I know how to create full, clear, tech packs with correct specs (measurements) to give factories everything they need to create a development sample from scratch. I can also create a cohesive collection and tie prints and fabrics together for the appropriate delivery. Please see my skills below:
- Skilled in WebPLM, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Microsoft Office
- Extensive fabric knowledge; corresponding with overseas factories to develop and source fabric & trims
- Technically skilled in drafting patterns, providing specs, creating full tech packs including
detail (call-out) pages
- Original Print Design (Seamless Repeat Patterns, Spot Prints, Graphic T-shirt Designs
- Embroidery Patterns and layout with Worksheet creation in Actual Size with Pantones
I am able to take direction and run with it, to meet design goals. Creating original designs and designs based from inspiration in the market that adhere to brand identity are traits that make me an asset.
Corresponding with overseas factories is another area where I posses a lot of experience. I keep on top of communication with factories to ensure the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of the samples, prints, fabrics, and trim. I am very organized and can keep on top of the calendar and adhere to deadlines.
