As a third-year Fashion Design student at the University of Cincinnati's prestigious Design, Architecture, Art and Planning program, I passionately pursue a career that fuses creativity with functionality. I am equipped with a holistic understanding of both the creative and commercial aspects of the fashion industry. My recent co-op experience at Land's End was a pivotal chapter in my journey, providing me with invaluable insights into the complexities of fashion design. There, I explored the intricacies of textile selection, proper fitting and design, and the art of crafting designs that celebrate and fit all body types. Learning from industry-leading designers, I witnessed firsthand the dedication and passion that drive this dynamic field.With a strong athletic background, I am driven to create fashion, sportswear, and athletic wear that seamlessly blend comfort, style, and flexibility. I aim to leverage my unique perspective and professional experiences to develop innovative designs that push the boundaries of traditional fashion and athletic apparel. I am eager to contribute to the evolution of the fashion industry by creating pieces that look great and enhance performance and comfort.
