Experience

  • CEO & FOUNDER OF PITAYA at pitaya.yoga
    Nov 2016 - Present · 9 yrs 9 mos

    Founder, CEO, and creative director of PITAYA, an all-over printed street and yoga wear brand known for its wild and wacky hand-drawn designs, created in 2016. I'm a fashion and print designer with over 15 years of experience in the fashion industry. I specialized in allovers/patterns and have worked both in-house for H&M in Stockholm and as a freelance designer collaborating with print studios in London, Sydney, New York, and Hong Kong. My portfolio includes collaborations with brands such as Zara, Asos, Desigual, Mango, Marks & Spencer, Topshop, Adidas, and Pull&Bear. Currently, my primary focus is on Pitaya, where I oversee everything from design and production management to creative direction for visual communication and company administration. Wearing many hats in this one-woman operation has given me a deep understanding of running an online fashion business.
