Currently looking to join a design collective and get to work. Let’s connect
My Design
Journey
Research & Story
Every collection begins with a narrative. I dive into cultural references, historical archives, personal memories, or emotions that resonate deeply. Moodboards become visual poems, and research becomes the foundation.
- Cultural and historical research
- Mood board curation with textures, colors, and references
- Defining the emotional core of the collection
Sketching & Silhouettes
Ideas flow onto paper. I sketch endlessly, exploring silhouettes, proportions, and details. This is where the story takes visual form — sometimes elegant, sometimes experimental, always intentional.
- Fashion illustration and technical sketches
- Exploring different silhouettes and proportions
- Refining design details and construction ideas
Textiles & Techniques
Fabric selection is critical. I experiment with handlooms, natural dyes, embroidery, and surface treatments. Each textile choice adds depth to the narrative, whether it's sustainable cotton or luxurious silk.
- Sourcing and selecting fabrics aligned with the story
- Experimenting with surface design (printing, dyeing, embroidery)
- Testing fabric behavior and drape
Sampling & Fittings
Draping muslin on mannequins, creating prototypes, and conducting fittings. This is where theory meets reality. Adjustments are made, proportions refined, and the garment starts breathing.
- Creating muslin mockups and toiles
- Fitting sessions and adjustments
- Finalizing pattern and construction methods
Final Lookbook & Presentation
The final garments are styled, shot, and presented. Every image, every layout, every caption is curated to tell the story cohesively. This is where the collection becomes a complete visual narrative.
- Styling the collection with accessories and props
- Photography and lookbook creation
- Portfolio layout and storytelling
