Description

I am a knitwear designer stylist, my expertise in color, material, pattern, and cut allows me to support you in all stages of the development of your knitwear and jersey collections for ready-to-wear, accessories, and home decor.

The added value of my work:

I design and create unique knitwear pieces on a manual knitting machine.

From craftsmanship to industry, my goal is to optimize product development before it is handed over to a manufacturer.
