Loriel Wesley

Freelance fashion, editorial & marketing content designer — based in Amsterdam, working worldwide.

Working from Amsterdam
Home base — Amsterdam NL

I'm Loriel — a freelance designer working across three connected disciplines: fashion design, editorial design and marketing content. From first sketch to final campaign, or any single stage in between.

Right now I design full seasonal collections for a Dutch fashion brand — concept, research, technical drawings, tech packs and original prints through to production-ready files. Each season I produce the printed and digital lookbooks and catalogues that present those collections, and create the marketing content that sells them.

Clients get one designer who can carry a collection end-to-end — or step into exactly the stage they need: a single lookbook, a set of campaign assets, a print, a full range. I work fully remote, with quick turnaround on seasonal and campaign deadlines.
