About Me
I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a Bachelor's degree in Fabric Styling and a minor in Art History in 2020.
After receiving my Associate's degree in Fashion Design in 2018, I became very proficient in patternmaking, sewing, draping, as well as using programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and PLM.
During my last two years at FIT, I discovered my passion for designing textiles, trend forecasting, styling, and creating technical designs for both fashion and home. I'm ultimately looking to obtain a position that allows me to utilize at least one of my passions in the workplace.
