During the last seven months of employment with Daniel Silverstain, LLC in NYC; I have had an exceptionally rewarding experience. At this small, energetic start-up I was allowed the chance to work on multiple facets of bringing a full collection to launch successfully at the Spring/Summer '16, Pre-Fall '16 and Fall/Winter '16 NY Fashion Week events. Besides design-ing, I was involved in developing the majority of the patterns, in charge of fittings, creating mood-boards, sewing muslin samples, liaison with our sewing contractors as well as sewing accessories for the runway. I am currently seeking new profes-sional horizons.

I am a native fluency bilingual (born in Ecuador, raised in Mexico and educated in the USA) and will bring diversity to my work tasks at your compa-ny. I believe my design inter-ests are highly aligned with your brand signature. I am a very hard worker, execute well under pressure, I am a team player and follow instructions well. I am mobile, flexible and am residing in NYC.

Thank you for considering this.

Sincerely,Gabriela
