TECHNICAL WORK AND VISUALS

TECHNICAL PACKAGE

This technical package was created for my final assignment in my Apparel Manufacturing class. It was during this class where I learned how to develop and compile necessary information pertaining to apparel manufacturing operations. Vital manufacturing information such as point of measure, construction, production sequences, costing, and identifying construction details like seams, stitches, and shaping methods, was used to compile my complete technical package.

LINE DEVELOPMENT VISUALS

These are visuals I had created in my Line Development Class. In that class, we created three designs of clothing, made samples, created visual boards, tech flats, and Technical write-ups that fit the aesthetic of the line theme we had chosen. My line was called Revert and the inspiration for my line represented a time my mother is very fond of, the early 70's. This project was not only incredibly fun, but it also helped me to get a better understanding of the line development process in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FLATS

This is my tech flat spread sheet that I created in my Digital Presentation Techniques class. I created all of the tech flats and patterns in Adobe Indesgin The line was inspired by my love for edgy puck rock.

SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT

This project was conducted to gain a better understanding of how sustainability practices influence the fashion industry. In this project, I had to choose 7 items of clothing that I would be wearing for one week. The purpose of this project was to demonstrate that over-consumption of garments is unnecessary and that the reusing of garments is a simple way to be more sustainable.

VISUALS

TREND FORECASTING VISUALS

My Trend forecasting class was a very stimulating experience because it forced the mind to look for patterns in current fashion and base future predictions of fashion trends on your findings. I created visuals based on trends that I had found and researched, as well as predicted trends and created corresponding visuals. The majority of my visuals were created in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign.

TREND FORECAST LOOK BOOK

My final project for my Trend Analysis class was to create a lookbook and overall poster of trends that I forecasted. For my project, I choose to put together a forecast for men's clothing trends. this project was extensive, it forced me to be diligent and aware of current men's trend so that I could accurately make a prediction on future trends

STYLING PROJECT

For this styling project, I wanted to demonstrate an edgy, punk rock look. I dressed my model in dark colors, with pops of red to convey an even feeling of boldness and edge, and of course, used leather combat boots and a leather jacket to get that rocker girl look.

DESIGN PROJECT

This is a dress I had designed in my Advanced Design class. The inspiration for this sweet little two-piece came from the nightlife culture of Las Vagas. I designed this garment to reflect big city party culture and incorporated colors of hot pink to express elements of flirtatiousness and fun, and black to reflect sex appeal in the garment.

ADVERTISEMENT VISUALS

I created these advertisement visuals in three different classes, however, the purpose of these visuals are all the same. These visuals where created with the purpose of advertising a specific event or promotion and demonstrate my capacity to conceptualize brand marketing as well as my ability to translate concepts into visual demonstrations.

INTERNSHIP VISUALS

For my internship with Sassafras: Bartel B Kind Line, I was able to design and create an original garment to be sold as a part of the Bartel B kind line. I created sample garments as well as a final garment that was made entirely of recycled scrap fabric. I also sewed masks and created infographics and ads for the Bartle B Kind Collection

VIDEO PROJECT

This short video was designed as a visual aid that represents the theme of my trend forecasting assignment.

AMBASSADOR POSTER VISUALS

During my time as an ambassador, it was my job to not only represent the ATM program but also to promote and encourage students to join it. These are some of the posters I had created to help my cause. Subsequent to the creation of my posters, they were hung and distributed around the entirety of the Central Washington University campus.

EXCEL AND WRITING PROJECTS

BUYING AND MERCHANDISING EXCEL PROJECT

In my Merchandising and Buying class, I completed a project that was based on a buying simulation. I conducted demographic, psychographic, and geographic research, along with economic research and consumer behavior research to create a buying plan. With the information gathered, I was able to make a projected buying plan for the women's clothing section of a department store as well as a comprehensive assortment plan based on my fiscal calculations for the year 2021.

RESEARCH PAPER ABSTRACT

I wrote this paper in my Applied Research class. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that I have a firm understanding of how formal research is conducted, as well as to show my ability to apply the research I gather to help resolve an issue. For this particular research study, I identified the potential effects of COVID-19 on college students and used CWU students as my test pool.

PERSONAL PROJECTS

DRESS FORM

In my free time, I created a dress form, cast from my own body. To create my dress form, I first cast my own body in plaster, then I cut myself out, filled in any dents the cast had, sanded the cast, put the cast back together, and carefully mixed the correct amount of polyurethane rigid expanding foam to pour into my cast so it would fill the correct volume of empty space. Many hours of hard work and research were dedicated to creating this dress form.
