Originally from Florence, Italy, I am a designer with 20 years experience in the field. I work in the fashion industry as an apparel designer, but I also have worked as a graphic designer, an illustrator, and a retoucher. I am that one in the office who also takes care of prints, catalogues, textile repeats, and social media design, in addition to my regular duties.
I can also assist wanna-be designers and start-ups how to effectively go about in forming and managing a fashion company, including product development and sourcing, fabric knowledge, construction, and overall fashion-industry tips.
FASHION DESIGN:
If you want to become fluent as a fashion designer, I will outline all the process for you, from how to create a mood board to how to put together a collection. Some of the material covered in class includes:
•Flats
•Croquis
•Technical constructions / how to spec and create graded measurements
•Tech packs assemblage
•Color palettes and color substitution
•Textile design / allover repeats
•Custom brushes
•Linesheets and catalogues
GRAPHIC DESIGN / RETOUCHING:
I can easily teach all levels of students all the tricks of the trade, I will cover how to work with an array of projects and files. I will teach how to work with layers, channels, paths, actions, history, mask, retouch, illustrations, logo creations, presentations, graphic and pattern repeats, color correction and use of effects and filters. Whether you are a photography aficionado or you want to jump back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop in your design or school endeavors, I can help you.
If you don't have the material I can provide the software during class, all you need is notes and a willingness to learn. I always give homework, so you practice at home what you learn in class, and I will review your exercises every time, until you become a pro.
ITALIAN:
Yes, I teach Italian as well. :)
I have been tutoring foreign languages ever since I was a high school student (I speak 5 languages) and I attended the school of foreign languages

The BEST FASHION Tutor ever!!
Stefania is extremely knowledgeable about Adobe Illustrator and also Fashion Industry with over 20 yrs experience in the books. She is extremely patient and organized. So far I have had 4 lessons with her and my illustrator skills have improved and I have learned the newest shortcuts and tricks that make it so much faster to create technical flats. Next to teaching me about Illustrator, we also covered tech packs and other categories like dying techniques that are part of the fashion industry. I am already looking forward to my next lesson with her!!!

Great fit
After a quick progress test to see My reading level we progressed into an excellent lesson. It’s really great to have a tutor one on one, and Stefania is really easy to work with very patient and encouraging. I didn’t feel any of the pressure I felt with other language classes.

I have a lot to learn; 56 years old & my first foreign language! If she can teach me she can help anyone. Thank You!
Vincent, 6 lessons with Stefania
Superior subject knowledge and excellent communicator. Very pleasant and encouraging.
To change colors in Photoshop. She taught me several different methods and why some are needed in some cases vs others or sometimes need to be used together. It was a lot to digest in one meeting. I've scheduled a second appt. with Stefania. I highly recommend her!

Very Relaxed Yet Professional and Focused
Very relaxed yet professional and focused. I need to bridge the gap between the Italian language I am reading about and the spoken word I want to command. I feel Stefania is very helpful in this goal.
