Sr. Fashion Designer / Design Manager/ Creative Head etc.

I am a trained and experienced Apparel Fashion Designer. I would like to introduce myself with my abilities and experience.
After 8 years of experience, I am currently managing women’s wear Design Department in Reliance Trends in Bangalore. I led various creative projects in leading design houses and demonstrate success in managing design team. I possess a deep understanding about planning & managing fashion collection in various categories of Fashion Industry that I have enclosed my resume for your review.
To ensure that I acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to become a Design Head, I have volunteered to work in numerous agencies, putting my academic (Nift) theory and principles into practice. I am equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team and am highly motivated to provide an excellent product on time and under budget.
Over the years, I have developed the process of trend forecasting and sampling of high fashion embroidered garments. I can work with Buying House, Export House, Design House or Retail Company with a versatile experience in garment industry.
