DESIGN DNA IS THE ABILITY TO TAKE A DESIGNERS OR BRANDS AESTHETIC DNA AND CREATE PRODUCTS BASED ON THOSE TRAITS.
VIA DESIGN TEACHES YOU ABOUT FIBER CONTENT, HOW TO LOOK, SMELL AND FEEL FABRICS AND RECOGNIZE IF THE FABRIC MATCHES THE LABEL.
I LOVE CREATING MY OWN PRINTS. WORKING WITH ANNA SUI MADE ME SO INSPIRED TO CREATE MY OWN PRINTS, EITHER SEAMLESS PRINTS OR BIG STYLE SPECIFIC PRINTS
PHOTOSHOOTS, UNIVERSE BUILDING AND STYLING IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE GARMENT STAND OUT. I LOVE BEING BOTH IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE CAMERA
