EDUCATION

2022-2024, KEA, Bachelor of Design & Business, Sustainable Fashion Tech

During my Bachelor of Design & Business, I immersed myself in the creative journey of bringing fashion concepts and collections to life.

From ideation and prototyping to the final project, I utilize Illustrator, CLO3D, and Photoshop to develop prints and designs, focusing directly on the specific target audience of each brand. My design process and prints are characterized by integrating inspiration from my skills in sculpting, embroidery, and painting. This personal touch infuses my creations with unique textures, intricate details, and a distinct artistic flair.

In addition to designing, I understand the power of branding and visual storytelling. I have learned about setting up webpages, creating tags/labels, and crafting social media content. This experience has given me a strong grasp of the various departments within a fashion company and the importance of collaborative work towards a shared vision
