Technical Designer

Currently I work as an Associate Technical Designer at Lee Jeans and I have been a proud VF employee for about 2 years now. A little bit about my career self, I graduated from the Art Institute of Indianapolis in 2012 acquiring my Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design. Soon after graduation I started working as a Technical Designer for a company called Impact Racing, located in Indianapolis, where I developed custom made patterns for Indycar and Nascar Driver’s.  While in that role I helped with everything from tech design, production management, scheduling, product development, quality control, to even helping  to sew garments when needed.  After almost four years with Impact I decided to start  my own Technical Design company.  I quickly obtained clients who needed production and pattern making assistance, and I spent most of my time traveling to manufacturing  facilities to provide my services.  At the end of 2016 I decided to take a job offer with Lee Jeans and I made the move to Kansas City to work on the Technical Design team.
