I am a self-taught Fashion Designer, I have been designing since I was 16 years old and have been designing using CAD for five years. I opened my own women's clothing line named Makalia a couple years ago, I learned U.S. women's measurements and created my own Tech Sheets that I provided to a manufacturer to produce the samples of the designs for my clothing line. I also created my own prototypes of the designs for my clothing line and provided them to the manufacturer to speed up the development process.
