About Me

IMG_2754.jpeg

I'm a textile designer, surface designer and illustrator with more than 10 years of experience in the New York fashion industry.

​

My career began with fine art training in oil, watercolor and graphite painting. Later, I studied applied textiles and weaving followed by masters degree in fashion design.

 

I am originally from Bulgaria, a country rich in culture and arts. Textiles have been a key feature of our national identity and history, which played a major role in my creative development. This experience has influenced my career to the extent that I primarily focus on creating original artwork for clients. 

 

Since moving to New York, I have worked with clients in a variety of categories including women’s, children's, intimates, sleepwear, active, swim, home, accessories and footwear.

 

With my experience in patternmaking and fashion design, I have a unique ability to conceptualize how prints actually work on garments. Because of this, I am able to work directly with technical designers and patternmakers to create placed or engineered prints. 

​

I am highly effective at working with clients to translate their vision into reality.
