Academy of Art University

Fashion Design BFA

I am currently a junior at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. I have a strong interest in garment construction, patternmaking, and avant-garde design. Repurposing and sustainability have been a focus for me through my college career; and I have worked to gain experience in these areas. For example, this year I interned with Kristin Juszczyk to help rework football jerseys into garments for the Superbowl.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
