Arts Thread

I first became interested in fashion design through sewing my own clothes. As a fashion design student, have explored a variety of interests in couture, avant-garde design, sustainable materials, and sportswear through design projects and internships. I am inspired by the hope of a better future for the fashion industry that holds craftsmanship at the center of all design. In my efforts to promote sustainability, I have further specialized in leather usage and sustainable tanning practices. My experiences at the Academy of Art University have made me a well-rounded designer that is capable of patternmaking, textile design, construction, corsetry, and more. With this unique skillset, I have grown into an adaptable designer without losing my unique perspective. I am eager to continue learning and building my skillset and experiences.
