About
Hey there !! I am a fashion retail student at FEDISA with a passion for trend forecasting, fashion buying, visual merchandising and consumer behaviour. Through my studies and projects, I have developed a strong understanding of how creativity and commerce work together to create meaningful fashion experiences. My experience includes brand development, marketing strategy, social media content creation, trend research, assortment planning and visual storytelling. I enjoy transforming ideas into interesting brand concepts that connect with consumers while staying aligned with market trends and business objectives.I am particularly interested in expressive fashion, retail innovation and building brands that balance creativity with commercial success. I approach every project with curiosity, attention to detail and a commitment to continuous learning.As I continue my journey in the fashion industry, I am excited to connect with professionals, gain new experiences and contribute to innovative retail and fashion projects that make a lasting impact.
Throwback to one of my favourite CAD assignments from 2nd year! We were tasked with designing a complete fanzine concept from scratch. I created 'Pop Reign' around Addison Rae’s 2025 pop culture rebrand, focusing on publication layout, bold typography hierarchy and visual storytelling. This assignment was an enjoyable exercise in merging design fundamentals with pop aesthetics, definitely one of those assignments where the creative process felt like pure fun!
