Fashion Redefined
My work explores the connection between storytelling, craftsmanship, and fashion. With a focus on garment construction, I approach each project through research, experimentation, and hands-on making. I am especially interested in how clothing shapes the body through fabric movement, and personal identity.
This portfolio reflects my growth as a designer and my commitment to refining both my creative process and technical skills.
My Design Projects
Pattern 3 Final
For my final project within my pattern 3 class, we were asked to create something using one or more of the techniques we learned throughout the 15-week course. I chose to use transformation reconstruction to build the top and subtraction cutting to create the skirt.
Botanical Gardens x CCC
This is a 5-week project I worked on with the wonder Justin Leblanc as a teacher and in collaboration with the Chicago Botanical Gardens. We were tasked with creating garments made from recycled materials. I utilized T-shirts, banners and plant name tags I molded into flowers.
The Grand Facade
My senior collection is a showcase of the skills that I have learned throughout my time at Columbia College Chicago. It will feature hand smocking techniques, corsetry and drapery.
Loulette Bride x CCC
For my senior thesis class, we have been working in collaboration with the bridal brand "Loulette Bride" run by Marteal who are based in New York city. I have created the corset for the dress as well as the majority of the digital work involved in our class work.
