WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD, MY MOM SIGNED ME UP FOR A TWO-WEEK SUMMER CAMP. IN SUMMARY, THE CAMP TAUGHT THE BASICS OF SEWING, AND FROM THAT MOMENT ON, I WAS HOOKED. NEVER WOULD I HAVE IMAGINED THAT ONE SILLY CAMP WOULD TURN INTO A LIFELONG HOBBY—BUT HERE WE ARE, MORE THAN TEN YEARS LATER.

AFTER THE CAMP, I STARTED TAKING REGULAR CLASSES ONCE A WEEK. I GOT TO LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES AND CHALLENGE MYSELF WITH HARDER PROJECTS. TWO YEARS LATER, I OUTGREW THE CLASSES AND STARTED SEWING ENTIRELY ON MY OWN.

GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOL, I HAD SORT OF LOST TIME FOR MY PASSION IN THE THROES OF SCHOOLWORK AND ATHLETICS. HOWEVER, DURING MY JUNIOR YEAR, I STARTED A PROGRAM AT WILSON TECH, WHERE THEY OFFER A FASHION DESIGN AND MERCHANDISING COURSE. THERE, I WAS ABLE TO DEDICATE ALMOST THREE HOURS EVERY SINGLE DAY TO WHAT I LOVE MOST.

OVER THE COURSE OF JUNIOR YEAR AT TECH, THERE WERE TWO FASHION SHOWS WHERE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MODEL MY OWN LINE OF CLOTHING. I DEBUTED SIX ORIGINAL GARMENTS THAT I CREATED FROM START TO FINISH AT OUR ANNUAL SHOW. I’VE HAD THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE BEING AT TECH MY JUNIOR YEAR AND CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT I CONTINUE TO CREATE IN MY SENIOR YEAR.

I CREATED THIS WEBSITE IN HOPES OF DISPLAYING MY DESIGNS AND SHOWCASING HOW FAR I’VE COME OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS. EACH DESIGN INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION WITH DETAILS ABOUT WHEN I MADE IT, HOW I MADE IT, AND WHY I MADE IT. I HOPE YOU ENJOY!
