Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion DesignAmsterdam Fashion Institute
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
Photoshop, Illustrator and couture handcraft (print-making, reverse appliqué and macramé) allowed me to understand the value of color combination, proportion, print-placement and the technical composition of couture craft relating to a final outcome. Illustration and CAD programs were a crucial part while creating my final womenswear and menswear collection.
Foundation Diploma in Art and DesignCentral Saint Martins (UAL)

research, drawing, collage, photography and personality all intertwined. CSM was my base, where I learnt the value, curiosity and spark of building an archive. Currently, trained to have an eye for grabbing unique extracts from any concept.
