The Future of Fashion Design
Developed digital fashion garments, accessories, and environments using various 3D tools including Clo3D, Blender, Substance, and Unreal Engine for Levi Strauss & Co.
Dynamic and technical designer with over 7 years of experience in innovative garment product development, 3D digital apparel design, print pattern design, and laser garment finishing.
Demonstrated history of excelling in high-growth, fast-paced work environments. Passionate about merging fashion with technology to spearhead initiatives promoting sustainability, agility, and growth.
Established the groundbreaking 3D Design Development DPC initiative, driving a major transformation in the design and development process for new products at levis.
Dramatically reduced the timeline for physical sample production from over 8 to 3 weeks.
Improved overall fit intent accuracy to 95%, and reduced most prototype production to one round, furthering sustainability efforts.
Finessed virtual fit blocks with detailed tech packs, made digital pattern alterations and rendered photorealistic digital samples proficiently organized for efficient production and consistency.
This cut the number of physical sample prototypes generated by at least half.
Conducted research to seek and apply innovative solutions to streamline workflow achieving a 5x acceleration of the 3D texturing process.
CLO 3D Render Reel:
Crafted hundreds of high-fidelity 3D digital samples for an extensive array of garment prototypes encompassing denim, knitwear, woven fabrics, and outerwear clothes for both men's and women’s seasonal assortment consistently exceeding established quotas.
Forged collaborative synergies both cross-functionally and closely within an agile technical design team to foster productive ideation and feedback sessions, which led to the efficient production of optimized digital apparel with sundries, trim, and accessories.
Managed advanced 3D and 2D design software to execute the entire virtual garment construction process, from pattern creation to model fitting, fabric digitization, colorway generation, and virtual styling.
This resulted in premium quality renders with technical accuracy that accelerated product development significantly shortened go-to-market calendars, saved money, and reduced environmental impact.
Samples of 3D digital denim from my work at Levi Strauss & Co. utilizing advanced technology to create photorealistic renders:Photorealistic denim renders were created for Levi Strauss & Co. using Adobe Photoshop, Substance Sampler / Modeler / Painter, 2D & 3D scanners, and then rendered with models in Blender 3D and some Unreal Engine.
Damages, laser patterns, garment washes, and tints were textured digitally to replicate physical garments in the virtual space. Renders can then be viewed virtually and also photo composited onto product pictures
