About Nana
I’m a Senior Jewelry Designer and Digital Illustrator with 9+ years of experience supporting jewelry brands across Asia and Europe. I specialize in developing Silver, Vermeil, and Demi-Fine jewelry collections, bridging the gap between high-end aesthetics and mass-production requirements.
I transform initial ideas into production-ready design proposals through precision digital sketching (Procreate) and professional rendering. My focus is on delivering technical specifications that consider both material expertise and wearability, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to factory floor.
Expertise Includes:
· Full collection development (18K gold, 925 silver, and semi-precious gemstones).
· Technical sheets for manufacturing & marketing team collaboration.
· 1-on-1 digital illustration training for designers (Procreate & Gouache-style).
Due to NDA agreements, specific brand collaborations are not fully displayed here. Please feel free to reach out for a private consultation or to view my extended portfolio.
Open to project-based collaborations, collection design, and long-term partnerships.
