About me
I am a meticulous, conscientious multi product apparel and accessories pattern cutter. Specialising in leather goods, lingerie, and swimwear, I am a diligent, flexible, and proactive member of the team, able to muck in when needed. I enjoy learning & exploring new ways of working. Determined to promote effective communication with colleagues and business partners, I am equally comfortable working alone or as part of a wider team. Committed to pattern cutting, garment construction and production of high-quality goods, I have a keen eye for detail and always think product first. Commercially astute, I enjoy working alongside buying & design teams. While utilising & developing my current skills, I am also keen to gain a deeper insight into, and learn more about, 3D technology to help insure I can meet potential future industry demands.
