As an apparel designer, I take inspiration from different cultures and traditions of my homeland, India. My goal is to create garments that blend the traditional with modern styles. The AD&D program has helped develop and hone my skills in patternmaking, fitting, construction, and creating technical packages. I plan to use my extensive skills along with analytical and creative problem-solving, attention to detail, and an eagerness to learn new things as I start my journey in the fashion industry.
