Hello! I am an undergraduate student currently enrolled at the University of North Texas, pursuing a major in Fashion Design, with minors in merchandising and theatre production.

In the realm of fashion, I am in the process of honing my skills as a proficient pattern maker and illustrator, specializing in fashion figures and flat designs. Furthermore, my minor in merchandising has equipped me with a good foundation in marketing principles, which I have applied in the operation of my small brand. This hands-on experience definitely helped my understanding of the business aspects of the fashion industry.

My academic journey also extends into theatre production, where I am actively working toward a minor. My dedication is evident through two years of hands-on involvement in costume production and wardrobe supervising at the University of North Texas.

Yes I do!
