Freelance Textile Designer

Chelsea is a young, energetic Textile Designer who has a keen eye for details and spotting trends. She has advanced hand drawing and painting skills, as well as excellent Photoshop and Illustrator skills. Working for both the fast fashion and swim market, she understands how crucial it is to be productive and meet all deadlines regardless of time given. Chelsea is able to work on multiple projects at once when necessary, and is always willing to help out on other projects. 

She is capable of creating on-trend prints, and is able to bring patterns to life with nothing more than a written description. She is excellent at creating color ways, and has experience working with NedGraphics and EasyColor. Chelsea also has experience in creating P.O.s, checking strike offs, making hangers, and contacting customers when fabrics and prints are ready for final approval. 

Her ultimate goal is to create prints that bring a new view to the always recycled world of Textiles. She knows what is new, what will be bought, and how to update patterns to keep up with the never ending fashion cycle. Chelsea currently resides in Orange County, CA and graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in September of 2013.
