ABOUT ME
I have always been a creative, from playing the cello to singing to fashion to graphic design and digital marketing. My development has gone from that of an inexperienced, awkward teen throwing together mismatched patterns, to a confidently anti-conventional (yet still fashionable - and sustainably concious!) adult. Alongside my work at university, I have been creating graphics for my band and the society I was president of for 2 years at NTU. I am very strong on brand image and identity, and I'm proud to say that my loud-yet-curated style reflects exactly what I want to be known of me. My personal work has a clear voice, and I take pride in being the kind of person whose online presence mirrors their real-life personality and values.
ACADEMIC FOCUS
My academic focus has been sustainability and accessible fashion. I am passionate about bringing disabled people out of the backseat of the fashion industry, as I believe that the industry is behind where it should be in terms of accessibility. Many of my projects have had minor focuses on sustainability in the industry, as I am very passionate about conservation and our environment, especially as someone who identifies with the punk subculture.
