Hello, my name is Lena Merrin, I am a patternmaker, dressmaker and 3D apparel designer.
Originally from Ukraine, I now live in Melbourne, Australia with my husband and two sons.
In my work, I enjoy the technical aspect of patternmaking the most, the calculations are so soothing :) Fitting the garment is like solving a puzzle, with perfect fit being the best prize of all!
Clo3D has given me the ability to sew the variety of styles and explore my creative side like never before, without the worry of wasted fabric and environmental impact. My digital “wardrobe” is growing at an impressive rate and I have no plans to stop.
I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge, being a part of a positive change and a sustainable future.
