Fashion Design Undergraduate at Missouri State University
3D Garment Creation
In my junior year of college and moving forward, I have and will continue to heavily focus on 3D garment creation as a new medium for my creativity and artisitc vision. 3D opens a whole new world of possibilities that I can't wait to explore in the coming years.
The Serenity Collection
The Serenity Collection was my Senior Collection produced entirely in Browzwear's VStitcher. The collection centers around making functional Outerwear a statement. I played with functional elements as visual interest, and played with fabric volume through ruching. I wanted this collection to bring drama and interest into a garment category that is very standardized and doesn't take risks. This collection solidified my advanced understanding of 3D Garment Creation through Browzwear, and introduced me to other 3D object and rendering techniques through Rhino 3D and Blender.

Final Collection PDF presented for review from Industry Professionals. Shows details in fabrications, textile designs, technical sketches, pattern work development and final garment renders.
Advanced Digital Couture Study
This Couture look was an advanced exercise in Browzwear, to deeply learn the ins and outs of the program. I patterned and developed all garments from scratch in Browzwear. I explored: creating custom materials (corset boning), Adobe Substance 3D assets (Realistic Embroidery), editing Avatar measurements, simulating/rendering complex, layered garments, importing custom artwork from Illustrator (Ombre Dip Dye), evaluating fit using tension/pressure maps, creating and importing custom diffuse maps, importing custom 3D content (Accessories), etc.

Void Collection
This 3-piece virtual collection was inspired by a feeling of anonymity and how easy it is to blend into the shadows. It was produced for the Fashion Group International Dallas' 2023 Scholarship Competition, and placed 2nd in the Digital Sustainability category. All garments were made using VStitcher by Browzwear. Video was also produced by me using Adobe Premiere Pro.

Partner Mini-Collection
This look was made as part of a 2-piece collection in partnership with Conner Orgill, and was inspired by Tokyo street fashion and bold contrast between bright light and dark. The collection featured a photoshop-made plaid pattern and dragon motifs. This was made in Vstitcher from Browzwear, and was my first original design in 3D garment creation software.

Branded Bear Wear
As a beginning exercise in Vstitcher, I made a branded activewear set for Missouri State University. All logos, colors, and patterns were taken from the university's branding package. Leggings were drafted from scratch, but the sports bra was a garment found on Browzwear's Cloud Library.
