Ecoternity Video & Print Ad
This is a group assignment I did in my fashion retailing course. I worked collaboratively alongside three of my classmates to produce a video ad and a print ad for a product. We also had to decide what social media platform we wanted our video ad to air on and what publication we wanted our print ad featured in. Our product was a sustainably and ethically produced handbag. Through our research, we determined that our target market was females ages 18-25 therefore we unanimously decided that Tiktok would be the best platform for our video ad and Vogue for our print ad. I was in charge of directing and producing and editing the video ad along with photographing and creating the print ad.
Non-slip Leggings Collection Group Project
This is another group project but with four other members and in the form of a PowerPoint. We had to come up with a solution for a commonly problematic clothing item. My group and I decided to create a non-slip leggings collection by adding a grip to the waistband, ensuring that leggings never slip again for our customer's next workout. We also had to come up with marketing, sourcing, and distribution strategies, and analyze our competition. It allowed me to practice my creative skills as I was in charge of designing a corresponding mood board that reflected our collection's colorway and aesthetic.
This project challenged me to work with people I had never met before, communicate respectfully, and acknowledge each of my peer's input to thoroughly complete the project. It also allowed me to practice my leadership skills. I took lead in the project by initiating the group discussions and coming up with a unique name and slogan for our collection.
Mexico Textiles Research Paper
This is a partner paper I wrote for a fashion class that focused on fashion on a global scale. My partner and I chose to analyze Mexico's textile industry. Through this project, I was able to learn about a new country's textile industry, trading history, policies, and imports and exports. Not only did I learn a lot about the fashion industry on a global scale but also how to work harmoniously and cohesively with another individual. I had done group projects in the style of a PowerPoint but never in the form of a research paper. It was an unfamiliar concept but I adapted quickly and learned how to effectively communicate with my partner to produce a quality and well-written paper. Through this partner research paper I gained new skills that I was able to apply to my other courses as well.
Spring 2021 Bikini Collection
This is a project that I created for a fashion illustration course. We were required to design a Spring 2021 collection that included four looks using Adobe Illustrator. I decided to design a swimwear collection that was inspired by flowers. This was my first time working with Adobe Illustrator so it was a great learning experience for me. Throughout working on the collection my patience was frequently tested as I faced many challenges using this unfamiliar program. I was also challenged to think creatively by coming up with unique designs. With perseverance and hard work, I was able to succeed. This project taught me an important lesson, that when faced with adversity if one has patience and determination they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. Most importantly, I learned how to work with Adobe Illustrator, a valuable skill set that can be recognized as a strength and asset by potential employers.
