My name is Lancy Lim. I was born and raised in Singapore. I became an American Citizen in 1990.
Upon my arrival in New York, I worked as a hairstylist, supporting myself through college, while pursuing an AAS Degree in 1996 in Menswear and a B.S. in 2001in Fashion Merchandising Management at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
For the past 26 years, I have had a successful career in the fashion industry in New York.
Post Covid 19, my position as technical designer for woven top category was eliminated at Talbots. Inc, and I completed an online graphic design certificate with the New York Institute of Art and Design.
I am well versed in WEB PDM version 5 and 7, Microsoft Office Window 10, Excel, and Gerber Yunique PLM. My last contract at GIII in the Karl Lagerfeld sportswear division involved compiling, building, and creating a library for each fabrication, yarn, trim, AI art files, cads, and material for all product categories, such as woven outerwear, pants, skirt, top; cut & sewn and full-fashioned Sweaters. I coordinated with the Production Team on preparing purchase orders after releasing BOMs and the development of Tech Packs for the factories.
I have knowledge of Fundamental Adobe illustrator and Photoshop; however, I can provide technical sketches through hand drawings. I had a good track record in maintaining monthly delivery at U$500,000 of sales for woven tops and soft blouses at Talbots Inc.,
Since December 2022, my current position is a Sr. Technical designer at Free Country Inc., handling Men’s Woven Outerwear, layering pieces, Jackets and Woven shirts in the menswear department. I am supervising an assistant. While at FC I established an extensive block and sloper library which resulted in approvals three weeks ahead of the cut date, and a single fit round to approval for every style!
I had successfully completed an education course in Gerber Accumark at FIT (Fashion Institute of technology) in July 2024.
I am detailed oriented and a fast learner. I am confident I can be an effective and productive addition to your existing team.
