Complete, Yet Always Evolving

My journey in the fashion industry started when I was just 14 years old, fueled by a natural talent and a deep curiosity for design. Attending the High School of Fashion Industries in the early 1980s set the foundation, and from there, I pursued my passion at FIT, New York’s prestigious fashion university. During these formative years, I discovered a love for intimate apparel and technical garment construction, setting the stage for a career that would bridge creativity with precision.

I was fortunate to start my career working with high-end fashion houses like Calvin Klein, Halston, and Polo Ralph Lauren—an experience that shaped my commitment to excellence. With a background in pattern making and garment construction, I naturally transitioned into technical design at a time when the industry was shifting towards global manufacturing and outsourcing. This evolving landscape allowed me to hone my expertise in fit development, digital workflows, and operational management.

As a natural leader, I quickly moved into managerial roles, blending my passion for technical precision and team empowerment. However, the true game-changer in my career was the introduction of 3D design technology. When CLO3D emerged in 2013, I immediately recognized its potential and immersed myself in its learning, implementation, and industry-wide adoption.

Today, I stand at the intersection of fashion and technology, working with brands, educators, and software innovators to push the boundaries of digital fashion. Whether it’s 3D pattern engineering, digital asset management, or integrating multi-software workflows, I thrive in creating efficient, forward-thinking solutions that drive product innovation and industry transformation.

Through teaching, mentoring, and consulting, my goal is to help others embrace the power of 3D—reshaping the way fashion is designed, developed, and experienced.
