Fashion Institute of Technology

As a knitwear designer with a solid foundation from the Fashion Institute of Technology, I bring a specialized focus in both woven and knitwear design. My skill set spans Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Excel, CAD, and Stoll M1, paired with hands-on expertise in hand knitting, madhine knitting, pattern making, draping and sewing. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments, where I’m driven to create innovative, trend-focused designs. Passionate about merging creativity with technical precision, I am committed to contributing to the dynamic world of fashion design

dreaMEing! is a knitwear-based thesis collection that explores the space between dreams and reality through storytelling and handcrafted textiles. Inspired by the idea of dream guardians, the collection merges opposing elements—softness and strength, tradition and innovation—to create emotional, wearable narratives. Sustainable yarns such as organic cotton, recycled blends, and 100% wool were used to craft each piece with care and intention. Through knitting, weaving, and surface manipulation, the project invites the viewer into a nostalgic yet hopeful world where dreams are protected, expressed, and reimagined.
