Tell us a bit about yourself. I love to go thrift shopping and remaking old clothes into something new. I also love going shopping for inspiration for my next sewing project. I've always wanted to start a collection, mostly wedding and prom dresses. I love working with delicate fabric to make outstanding pieces.

What made FIDM right for you? I love to be challenged with my creativity and sewing ability. I want to learn new things every day.
Describe your entrance project. My entrance project was based on my prom dress. The pieces are very elegant with floral detailing and colorful. I put my heart and soul into my drawing, and will hopefully get the opportunity to make them.
What are your career goals? To own a small business mainly focusing on custom wedding and prom dresses, and also tailoring to a client's needs.
What do you expect to learn at FIDM? I expect to become a better designer and learn all the ins and outs of fashion. I want to learn to be an independent designer with tons of creativity.
