Fashion Design Undergraduate at Missouri State University
Physical Garment Creation
Before the transition to 3D Garment creation, I learnt the basics of pattern work through physically patterning, draping, and constructing garments. This spanned the creation of a set of basic blocks, all the way to full collections show at Omaha Fashion Week.

Wrap Blazer and A-Line Midi Two-Piece Set
Original design two-piece set. Was draped to fit personal measurements. The Wrap Blazer Top features two lapels accentuated by gold safety pins, two forming darts, a waist tie, and is fully lined on the inside. The A-Line Midi skirt features two high slits at the princess seams that are accentuated with gold safety pins. It also features an invisible zipper at the center back. Both pieces are made out of a Crepe-backed satin.
