During my time working as a design assistant at Mirror Palais, I supported marketing and design operations using my digital design skills.
My Photoshop retouching skills are strong, and I am capable of editing images to match product expectations perfectly. For Collections 3 and 4, I was asked to brighten and smooth backgrounds, edit out ghost forms, straighten seamlines, correct skin imperfections, and create room in crop orientation.
Below are flats I created in Illustrator to help visualize and merchandise Collection 2 and 3 from Mirror Palais.
For Mirror Palais’ Collection IV, which debuted at NYFW in 2023, I aided the design process from the outset, creating flats and other visuals for Marcelo to review in decision making. I redesigned the brand’s logo, as seen above, which is still in use. In accordance with this change to the brand, I created new hangtags, main label tags, size label tags, branded aglets and garment bags.
I was also able to create embroidery designs and place them directly into DXF files for our design team, as well as use swatches to reproduce deadstock fabrics.
I rendered new colors onto gowns with Photoshop to see how they would look. Marcelo made final decisions using my digital assets as support.

MP Hangtags
For our hangtags, there was a lot of development on my part. View this process here.
I digitally mimicked a deadstock vintage fabric to size and shape so that we could reproduce it for further sales.
Maria Eyelet Fabric Copy
I did this with another fabrication’s pattern so we could utilize the design on tissue paper for our packaging.

In addition to assisting in clothing development, I was tasked with directing development of a collaborative jewerly line with M Jewelers that was also in the ‘23 show. The Lookbook is available to view here. There is also a Linesheet I created for both teams use and reference. I researched prior to designing and developed six pieces, a joint logo, a jewlery box design, invites, site/mobile banners, and I retouched images as well.
For this collaboration with Inamorata, I had the special honor of developing my own print using inspiration Marcelo gave me. I assisted with research and I created all of the digital assets, from flats, to logos, hangtags, size and main label tags, packaging, site banners, charms, and patterns. It is always a pleasure working between two teams, and this project was no exception.
