My love for the ocean has led me towards working in the resort, surf and swimwear industry throughout my career in fashion. I have been an apparel designer and textile designer for over 20 years while living in Hawaii, New York, California and now Portugal.
My family and I moved from Newport Beach, California to Peniche, Portugal almost two years ago. We spend time in both locations and enjoy living in a beach community. I created Coast Design Services to collaborate with coastal lifestyle brands and help them portray their vision. To learn more about what inspires my work you can view my journal page and follow my Instagram and Pinterest accounts. You can also license my artwork for apparel, home decor and gift items at moniquemoranstudio.com.
About
Many years in the fashion industry as an apparel designer and textile designer has given me expertise within the design, merchandising and development process, which is essential when working with a freelance designer. I am experienced in the printing process, working with factories and creating production ready artwork for a variety of apparel and accessories products. Shown below are brands that I have worked with both full time and on a freelance basis.
