Assistant Designer / Patternmaker
ALL WE REMEMBER
September 2024 - Present
At All We Remember, I started as a summer intern and within a year I grew into the role of Assistant Designer and Patternmaker. I work closely on garment development, patternmaking, sample construction, and small-scale production. More recently, my role at AWR has expanded into the retail side, where I serve as the main key holder. The concept is open-kitchen, blended with design work and retail, where I interact with customers while creating designs and garments. 



Working at All We Remember has given me the insights to what it is like working with a small independent fashion brand. Being trusted to grow alongside this brand has strengthened both my technical skills and my understanding of how design, production, and retail work together to creative a cohesive brand story.

April 2026 - Present
As a Production Specialist at Ronny Bass, I construct 5-6 pairs of ready-to-wear pants and shorts each week, working with many different fabrics, styles, and designs. From cutting and sewing to final garment assembly, I am responsible for producing high-quality garments that meet production standards while maintaining consistency, precision, and efficiency. 

Producing garments at this volume has strengthened my technical skills, attention to detail, and my ability to maintain quality while working efficiently. This role has also reinforced my passion for consistency in production and it has expanded my understanding of how thoughtful construction translates into well-made garments.
