Loop Structure Study

Role: Knitwear design and hand development
Client / Context: Garment study
Focus: Overscale stitch, loop construction, surface depth

A sculptural knit study built around heavy looped surface, exposed yarn mass, and a red ground structure. The development centers on gauge, stitch direction, weight distribution, and edge control.

Technical Notes

Loop placement mapped against garment balance, weight, and shoulder stability.
Edge and neckline behavior reviewed for collapse, curl, and recovery.
Yarn scale selected to hold surface depth while maintaining movement.
Prototype notes preserve stitch direction and repeatable handling for sample rounds.

A_MOI Fall Knit Development

Role: Knitwear Technical Development
Client / Context: Luxury Ready-to-Wear
Focus: Sample development and production feasibility

A tighter, production-oriented knitwear program emphasizing continuity from initial creative direction to sample development and production handoff. Particular attention was placed on texture consistency and finishing quality.

Technical Notes

Material selections prioritized consistency between runway sample and production output.
Construction reviews focused on seam behavior, drape retention, and finish quality.
Development handoff included knitwear tech packs, measurement specs, and finishing notes for factory teams.
Aesthetic decisions were evaluated against production timelines and repeatability constraints.

Product and Surface Studies

Role: Stitch development and sample review
Client / Context: Garment studies
Focus: Crochet modules, cable placement, fastening detail

A group of isolated garments and close views documenting how surface systems sit on the body: modular crochet shells, cable structures, halter neckline engineering, and hand-fastened crochet.

Technical Notes

Crochet module layout reviewed for motif alignment, edge scallop, and garment balance.
Cable placement calibrated against neckline tension, shoulder stability, and recovery.
Fastening details evaluated for placement, hand access, and finish consistency.
Sample notes clarify stitch repeat, gauge references, trim behavior, and finishing sequence.

Senior Editorial Collection

Role: Design, Stitch Development, Styling Direction
Client / Context: Independent Editorial Study
Focus: Sculptural knitwear and texture control

A body of work built around oversized stitch language, controlled color interventions, and engineered silhouette shape. The objective was to hold artisanal texture while preserving technical clarity.

Technical Notes

Gauge and yarn blend selected for deliberate volume without uncontrolled collapse.
Stitch architecture balanced tactile depth against wearability and movement.
Color placement treated as structural punctuation rather than surface decoration.
Prototype revisions documented for reproducible sample rounds and approvals.

SAIC Runway Knit System

Role: Knitwear Design & Development
Client / Context: SAIC The Walk
Focus: Runway development and silhouette engineering

A runway-focused knitwear program balancing dramatic form with structural clarity. The work centered on stitch scale, movement, and look coherence under show conditions while preserving technical feasibility.

Technical Notes

Stitch mapping calibrated for visual impact at runway viewing distance.
Accessory and garment language aligned to maintain collection-level continuity.
Sampling adjustments focused on mobility, proportion, and show-light response.
Documentation prepared as tech-pack-ready instructions for repeatable development steps.
