Once I completed my fashion design degree I decided to take a master's
program in stylism for media productions.
I have worked as a freelance designer and stylist for several companies
creating outfits, developing collections and also technical products.
In nice things I had the first experience designing accessories, develop-
ing the collection and being in charge of the production process for
bags, scarves, jewelery and other items.
I also gained experience as a buyer and in handling constant communi-
cation with all suppliers, traveling to India twice a year to supervize the
production, visit factories, select materials for the upcoming season
(fabrics, leather, PU, jewelery stones and metals...)...
Later I worked for Beconnected in Shanghai, offering a design and stiling
service. My main task was to develop collection proposals for kids,
ladies and men’s wear, trends research, and redisign items for a better
production process.
