I dedicated this project for the sake of the refugees, telling the story of a little Syrian girl on a big journey. I saw sustainable options by using already existing garments and materials, by up-cycling, saving manufacturing resources and create new garments with repurchased fabrics and trimmings. I also put a big weight in culture as I believe refugees brings cultures together. As a way to show

Short Course in Fashion and TextilesRawalpindi Institute of Art and Design
- Rawalpindi, Pakistan
During my gap year, I went to Pakistan and took up a short course in traditional fashion
and textiles. I learned skills such as hand embroidery, different printing techniques and
dyeing processes and pattern cutting techniques used specifically in Pakistani clothing. This course really helped me find my creative voice. I continually use the techniques I learned in this course in my practice, as an addition to the skills I honed from my degree.
