Technical Textile Design
I apply my creative vision through technical means to cloth using tools such as Shima Seiki knit programming, Lectra Kaledo pattern and knit design, EAT woven design, Tajima digital embroidery. Not shown below are my additional skillsets in developing complex weave drafts, complex ZSK embroidery, and sock knit programming.

Designing knit fabrics using Shima Seiki software and flatbed knitting machines.
