Designer's eyeProgrammer's logicMaterial knowledge
“A designer’s eye, a programmer’s logic, and deep material knowledge shape my approach — helping creative ideas become technically achievable knitwear.”

What clients say

“Ia is an exceptional programmer, and working with her, I could trust that all my complex knitwear design ideas were executed exactly as I intended. She is a great problem solver, and her background in design made communication easy from start to finish. Her technical proficiency combined with an eye for detail makes her one of my favorite development partners.”
