With nine years of experience in the modeling industry and five years in fashion design, I have cultivated a unique and comprehensive perspective on both the visual and structural aspects of fashion. My journey began on the runway, where I learned to understand how garments move, how they are perceived from different angles, and how styling choices affect the narrative of a look. This firsthand experience in front of the camera and on stage gave me a strong foundation in visual presentation, aesthetics, and the importance of silhouette, proportion, and fabric behavior. Transitioning into fashion design allowed me to further deepen my understanding of how garments are constructed, tailored, and conceptualized. I have spent the past five years working on original collections, exploring the relationship between traditional heritage elements and modern design principles. My work is often inspired by cultural narratives, physical movement, and human form, bridging the gap between performance and design. This dual background enables me to approach design not just from a technical or creative standpoint, but also from a performative and user-focused perspective. I consider how garments look in motion, how they feel on the body, and how they communicate a story to the viewer. Whether I am developing a pattern, leading a photoshoot, or presenting a collection, I bring an intuitive and well-rounded sensibility that merges artistry with functionality. I believe this fusion of modeling and design experience allows me to contribute a distinctive voice to the fashion industry — one that values both beauty and purpose, storytelling and structure.
