Zip-Neck Polo & Tailored Trouser Set — Menswear Design
A complete menswear look built around texture and print play. The zip-neck polo features a fine pinstripe placket that transitions into a bold diamond/chevron border at the hem — paired with clean, tailored trousers with a pressed crease and classic pocket detailing for a polished, everyday-elevated fit.
What's included:
🎨 Colorway exploration — olive green (#3f591b), sage (#a2bf7a), and taupe brown (#917f66)
✏️ Technical flat sketches — front and back, fully lined for construction clarity
🧑🎨 Colored fashion illustration on model
🔍 Trim callouts — zipper hardware and chevron print detail
From concept to color story, this project shows the full development process — flats to final render.

Summer Vacation Romper Collection – Flat Sketch + Colorway
Sharing the latest piece from my Summer Vacation Romper Collection: a pair of baby overalls designed for that easy, sun-soaked resort feel. This entry includes front and back technical flats, plus a full colorway breakdown — crossback straps, patch pockets, and button details at the shoulders and waist.
For the print, I went with a mixed motif of suns, palm leaves, and seashells to capture a playful coastal vibe, finished in a warm olive (#86804e) with a muted sage undertone (#999579).
The trickiest part? Picking the print and color 😅 Summer prints open up so many directions — florals, fruits, coastal, abstract — and narrowing it down to the sun/palm/shell mix took a few rounds of sketching. Landing on the right olive shade took even more back-and-forth than I expected, testing several tones before this one finally felt right for the vacation mood I was going for.
Swipe through to see the full process — line art, colored flat, and the final print application on both front and back.

Fruit Print Halter Dress — Illustration + Flat Sketch
A halter-neck midi dress designed around a playful cherry & peach fruit print, developed from concept through to a full technical flat sketch.
The design features a sweetheart neckline, smocked waistband with rickrack trim, and a tiered, gently flared skirt — shown here in an original colorway exploration (deep plum, #3e1e40) alongside the print swatches, followed by the clean front and back flat sketches for production reference.

Front & back fashion illustration with color/print exploration
Fruit print swatch development (cherry, peach, mixed motifs)
Technical flat sketch — front & back views

Spring/Summer Loungewear & Resort Collection
Week 1 — Menswear: Summer Resort Set
Kicking off a new collection with this one
- Short-sleeve Cuban collar button-down in linen, paired with relaxed-fit linen drawstring shorts.
- Hand-placed tropical floral print along the sleeves and lower hem (front + back) — kept it clustered instead of all-over so the sage green base (#a3c4af) still gets room to breathe.
- Soft yellow undertones + accent floral palette to pull it into resort/vacation territory without tipping into "Hawaiian shirt" cliché.
- Includes front + back flats, isolated garment views, and full colorway breakdown.
Flat sketches:
- Front and back technical flats for both the shirt and shorts, including collar construction, button placement, and drawstring detail.
- Isolated floral repeat shown separately so the print placement is clear without the garment shading.
- Back pockets on the shorts finished with a smaller embroidered floral detail — a quieter callback to the main print.
- Built these to be tech-pack ready, not just decorative — proportion and placement stay consistent across every view.
The tricky part:
- Getting the floral print to feel unique was honestly the hardest bit — it's easy to default to generic tropical motifs everyone's seen before.
- Had to work through which flower types + arrangement actually made this read as "designed", not a stock print.
