About me

Hi! I’m Sophia Marie.

As a textile design artist, I merge traditional craft with modern innovation. My practice begins with drawing, painting, natural dyeing, screen printing, draping, and pattern development, and extends to digital tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and CLO-3D. Each mini collection serves as a case study in material and design, balancing soulful storytelling with commercial relevance across fashion, accessories, and home décor. Since 2022, I’ve worked as a freelance textile designer, creating trend-focused prints and CADs—developing cohesive color stories, refining repeats, and collaborating cross-functionally with suppliers and development teams to ensure exceptional craftsmanship.
