		<description>Creditex is a vertically integrated textile mill located in Lima, Peru.  As a contractor for Creditex, I successfully piloted a digital fabric library system which would assist in the efficiency of product development at the mill. I worked in each department of the mill to obtain a stronger grasp on the product development and production process. The project was conducted in Spanish and a Masters Thesis was written on the topic.

		<description>While living in Peru, I had the wonderful experience of working for the company, Wool and the Gang.  As a part of The Gang, I designed technical specifications, sourced yarns and manufacturing, organized production, and met with hand knitters from all across Lima to certify correct samples.  I worked one on one with the WATG designers to develop the Spring/Summer 2012 and Fall/Winter 2013 collections which can now be bought online at, woolandthegang.com.

		<description>In 2011, I piloted a research project where I worked and lived in Lima, Peru. The project was multifaceted and aimed at obtaining diverse experiences within the textile industry -  from working in mills, to a design agency, and with artisans - all with the purpose of understanding different methods in which textile design and production can be made more sustainable. This embedded exposure and first-hand experience provided an unparalleled education in the workings of this complicated industry.  It put faces to all of the major brands we wear each day. It instilled an understanding and appreciation of the difficulties as well as the benefits involved.

		<description>Del Mano, a womenswear collection, was created for pre-fall 2012. Patterns were initially drawn in Adobe Illustrator, the technical designs were created in Accumark Gerber, and were cut on a Lectra automated cutter. The combination of natural and synthetic materials includes 100% Alpaca Wool, Silk, Bamboo Viscose, Polyester,  Rayon, and Cotton.
