Summary
Passionate and driven University Graduate and retail associate with a fashion background in upcycling, garment construction, fashion illustration, and fabric printing. My background also includes costume design, which is what inspired me to pursue a higher education in fashion design because it helped me to view fashion as a way to create art. I want to attend UTS for fashion design because it emphasizes hands-on learning as well as sustainability, which are both vital to my goal to become an owner of a fashion label where all items are made ethically, to fit well, and most importantly, to last.
