About me
I am a recent Fashion Design Graduate from Nottingham Trent University. I strive each day to push myself further towards greatness and make my dreams a reality by creating functional Outerwear and Apparel with a sustainable approach.
I am fascinated by timeless design, and classic silhouettes that come with the luxury of being adapted to extreme and unpredictable weather conditions. Innovation and Technology are two things that bring me closer to sustainability in fashion. During my career progression, I strive to help create products that are not only environmentally friendly but also functional and protective.
In my experience, I have gained invaluable creativity, problem-solving and analytical thinking skills. Being open to learning more and finalising design ideas has made me a proactive person with excellent interpersonal skills and a hands-on attitude.
I have a background in Fine Arts & Graphic Design. Moreover, the pandemic has also contributed towards my abilities in the use of digital softwares, such as Marvelous Designer, CLO 3D, Blender, and Substance Painter. Nevertheless, I continue to apply traditional knowledge to my work where I create with sustainability in mind.
