Overview

I design and facilitate hands-on educational programs that introduce youth to sustainable fashion, creative reuse, and design thinking. Through interactive workshops, students explore the environmental and cultural impact of fashion while developing practical skills in sewing, upcycling, and visual storytelling.

My approach blends creativity with critical thinking. Encouraging students to see themselves as designers, problem-solvers, and contributors to a more sustainable future.

Each program is adaptable to different age groups, skill levels, and learning environments, making it accessible for classrooms, after-school programs, and community-based organizations.

PROGRAM OFFERINGS

  • An introduction to sustainability in fashion, where students learn about textile waste, fast fashion, and environmental impact while transforming secondhand garments into original designs.

  • A hands-on design experience where students rework thrifted clothing into wearable art and functional pieces using creative reconstruction techniques.

  • Students explore fabric as a storytelling medium through collage, mixed media, and identity-based design projects that center culture and self-expression.
