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.
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.
My portfolio reflects my African roots and culture, which I specialized in African basket weaving as well as African prints. My portfolio also reflects my mood and my love for nature. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you.
