Fashion Design MFA
I am a recent graduate with a Master of Arts in Fashion Design, bringing over 2 years of hands-on experience as a Junior Fashion Designer and more than a year in luxury retail. With 5 years of academic training in fashion design, I possess a thorough understanding of the design process, research methodologies, and the implementation of fashion trends. My professional journey includes a notable year in a senior role in luxury retail at Harrods, where I honed my expertise in client and team management, visual merchandising, and navigating the challenges of the luxury retail environment. As the founder and designer of my own firm, I have sharpened my skills in market-driven design implementation, Adobe Suite proficiency, CAD design, and trend analysis/fashion forecasting. My leadership capabilities were recognized as I was appointed the lead for fashion shows for three consecutive years, leveraging my strengths in team management and organizational skills. My diverse experience and comprehensive skill set make me a formidable contestant in the Only Natural Design Competition.
