Her graphically-oriented work method transcends language barriers: storyboards incorporate fabric, color and trim samples; color fashion drawings unmistakably show the desired look; merchandising plans clearly depict silhouettes; specifications assist in prototype development.

Deep Knowledge of Manufacturing

With versatile design skills and deep understanding of a manufacturer's position in the market, Ora's design range extends from sophisticated to provocative, from classic to contemporary. Her talents span the full gamut of dresses, sportswear, active wear, body wear, lingerie, sweaters, large sizes, and petites; and her men's, women's and children's wear lines can be found in department, chain and specialty stores.

Simple Assignments to Complete Projects

An assignment may be as simple as developing color storyboards for a client who needs to present a concept or wants to provide selling tools for line reps. Or as extensive as planning and developing a complete new line: from initial concept, to fashion drawings and specifications, and on through overseeing implementation of prototypes and duplicates for the sales force.
