I'm TU YUNG-CHU, I'm from Taiwan Taichung, and I'm studying Fashion Design at Shu-Te University of Science and Technology. I chose this major because I love working with fabrics and creating what I want to create. I am a hardworking, optimistic and positive person, a person who is passionate about this profession. Willing to use their leisure time to fully enrich themselves. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, TV series, anime, reading books, and manga. It gives me more inspiration and broadens my horizons so I can incorporate them into my creations. I also like things that have religious overtones, because I have been exposed to different religions since I was a child, and they are deeply imprinted in my heart, and it allows me to think about how to combine modern elements and carry them forward.
