Christine Chase
{ASPIRING FASHION DESIGNER}
Professional info
I am a graduate of the University of Delaware and I have much to offer as a design assistant. Having taken numerous courses of garment construction, I have a good amount of sewing skills and knowledge on garment construction techniques. I’ve also gained experience in patternmaking and draping, as well as putting together mood boards and forecasting trends. Through my other courses, I’ve developed a proficient ability in creating technical flats with the use of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. My expertise is in hand drawing sketches and illustrations, having done them for several years. I am very passionate in my interest in fashion design and love to work hard at perfecting my craft.
