About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you in reference to the position of Designer advertised as I believe to be a valid candidate.

During my study and after graduation at the Brera Academy in Milan as Visual Arts and Decorative, I had the opportunity to enhance and develop my skills in various roles in women's clothing' production chain. Covering positions in various department from Style Department (AnnieP) to the industrialization of the textile product (ItalinDesign), gave me a valid and extensive experience of all steps, from creation to development 'total look';

In addition, in my former experiences I manage to work from prototyping until the final production of distinctive high quality Made in Italy's manufactures, helping me to define and improve my technical/creative skill in order to support all sector activities of the business. In this occasion I gained know-how of branding and it has strengthen my knowledge and ability to understanding trends.

Moreover, during the collaboration with AnnieP's brand I actively develop the collection in the decision maker team, from the sketches to research trends, embroideries and prints. Furthermore, in the same brand I have been directly involved in the industrial development, consequently I manage and organize technical drafting boards, calculate consumptions and prices, contact suppliers and find new one. These positions required high attention to details which I developed when I was responsible of finding prototype imperfections.

I also proved that I work very well under pressure when I was responsible of production launches and managed a smooth logistic and organization.

I am so passionate about the industry that I explored other aspect in order to understand a wider picture of fashion field. In fact, I extend my imaging communication expertise by working as Visual Merchandiser in Rome and Stylist in Milan, this helped me to evaluate new creative solutions, improved productivity monitoring and technical skills when necessary.

In addition, I have good communication skills which help me to promptly understand customer's needs.

I would be delighted to have the opportunity to discuss my skills and expertise in an interview.
