Education

2022-2026 | BS in Fashion in Textile Design at NC State University

Fashion and Textile Design at NC State is a studio based program that has taught me about garment construction and 2D/3D Computer Aided Design. It is a Bachelor of Science degree that incorporates fiber science, technology, and chemistry into the study of textile design. The interdisciplinary nature of fashion and textiles provides me with well rounded skills in the business, science, and design aspects of the industry.
