SEASONAL CATALOG WITH SAMPLES OF ASSISTED DESIGNS
For this photoshoot, we had the opportunity to showcase many styles I had the honor to assist with in the design process. I also aided in the art direction as well as the production process by finding inspirational images that best resembled the brand and the customer's lifestyle, as well as keeping an organized record of schedule, looks, and reference information of every contractor.

FREELANCE: CHILDREN'S CONVERTIBLE HOODIES- MOCKS
These are mock ups for a local business that specializes in creating companion stuffed toys for children that later transform into a hoodie and vice versa. I had the task of finding an inspirational character and orchestrate a way to translate the idea into an understandable CAD Design via Adobe Illustrator.

JEWELRY DESIGN AND PRESS
I worked directly with the Senior Designer to create these jewelry pieces, amongst many others, and brought her inspirational ideas to life through the use of Hand drawn sketching, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. In order to achieve a better turnaround, we worked alongside local manufacturers. Later on, these styles were featured in European Magazines as shown below.

PRODUCT DESIGN
I had the opportunity to help this brand conceptualize and materialize a packaging that would go along with the brand's essence and would also be capable of storing any tiara design they already possessed in their inventory. I also worked alongside the Senior Designer and Junior Designer to create the company's garments as well as these luxurious eye covers with spec sheets and CAD sketches made via Adobe Illustrator.
