I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a Bachelor's of Science in Fiber Science & Apparel Design with a concentration in Fashion Design & Management. I am now a Merchandising Assistant at UNIQLO USA in New York.
Here is a breakdown of me academically:

On a personal note, I’m from Illinois and am one of three sisters. In my free time, I enjoy sewing and knitting clothing, collaging, making innovative coffee drinks, seeing live music, and exploring the city. I aspire to work in a hands-on fashion role that blends creativity, strategic thinking, and environmental consciousness -- ideally in print/pattern design and/or product development. Eventually, I'd like to write & illustrate children's books. 
Just like my logos, myself & my designs are constantly evolving. Stay tuned for more and follow my instagram @thats.sewnina for the latest updates!
