A freelance fashion designer with 10+ years of experience in women’s apparel, helping brands bring their ideas to life. Whether you're building a line from scratch or need extra hands during a busy season, I’m here as a creative partner to help make the process smoother, faster, and more focused.


Hey there,
I'm Doreen

Partnering with brands to bring designs to life - from concept to production.


About Me

My goal is simple: to make your job easier and help your product stand out.



I see myself as an extension of your team. I’m here to support you in whatever way you need -  whether that’s refining a concept, building out a line, organizing tech packs, or troubleshooting production. I’ve been in your shoes, wearing all the hats while launching and growing brands. I understand the pressure of timelines, budgets, and getting it right.




My Approch

I’ve worked on both sides - leading design for national retailers and launching my own women’s line. That blend of experience helps me support clients at any stage, whether they’re scaling up or just getting started.

What I Love Doing

I collaborate with women’s fashion brands - from early-stage labels to established names - bringing direction, creativity, and structure to the design process. My goal is to make developing your collection feel inspiring and seamless.

My design style? Effortless and feminine with a modern sensibility - timeless silhouettes, refined fabrics, and thoughtful details designed to tell a story.
