Creative Process
Below is a mood-board I created by gathering different elements of inspiration, from retro video game aesthetics to oversized silhouettes and synthetic materials. From there I was able to design a garment incorporating my many ideas. The result was a hockey style jersey with raglan sleeves, flat lock stitching, and a recycled pencil pouch pocket.
Mens Raglan T-shirt
For this project, I designed a quarter-zip raglan t-shirt with a contrasting flat lock stitch. First, I created the technical flat in Adobe Illustrator and then the virtual prototype in CLO 3D. Finally I constructed the physical prototype.
Vest Prototypes
During the my last semester at Cal Poly, I designed two different vests, one intended for men and the other for women. Both vests utilize a center front zipper and flap pocket design, featuring sewed on velcro and D-rings. The men's vest has an extra set of patch pockets and a collar, while the women's vest is cropped with a U-neck and waistband.Â
The first step in developing these vests was to create the technical flats in Illustrator. Then I created the patterns and virtual prototypes in CLO3D. Finally, I printed out the patterns and constructed the physical prototypes.
Urban Divide
Urban Divide is a skatewear line I created inspired by a neo-punk aesthetic. Using Adobe Illustrator, I designed three main pieces: a cargo pant, utility vest, and elastic waist pant, each with a unique print.Â
I later chose to create a virtual prototype of the cargo pants using CLO3D, where I applied my technical skills to develop and perfect a pattern which I finally used in constructing the physical prototype.

Nebula
Nebula was a concept for a high visibility "neon" skatewear line. For this project I used Illustrator to design the garments and create a line sheet with names, SKU numbers, and colorways for each item. I also created a mood board to communicate the theme of the line.
"Eco-Play" is the name for a sustainable kid's shoe company which I helped develop for a group project. As the "product director," I used my skills with Illustrator to design the logo and two distinct shoe styles, each with a durable construction of vegan suede to support the active lifestyle of young boys and girls. I also designed an intricate tread pattern for the outsoles.
