About

I am Zainab Yusuf in Lagos, Nigeria. I moved to Canada fall of 2019 to pursue my education and career in fashion design. Before moving to Canada I studied banking and finance at the University of Lagos, Lagos Nigeria. one of my lifelong dreams is to be one of the best-known Contemporary women's designers in Nigeria and across the globe, I want to be able to influence others positively and also encourage others to follow their dreams no matter how long it takes for them to achieve it. I believe that the best way to live life is by doing what would bring smiles and happiness to you as well as others.

Pattern making and sewing

This project showcases my pattern-making process using PAD System and CLO3D. I translated original design sketches into digital patterns and used virtual fitting to test and refine garment construction. The focus was on achieving clean fit, technical accuracy, and a polished finish through 3D visualization and digital tools.
