Polluted by Single Use Plastic

Inspired by a first year college editorial project about pollution, I used the phrase “polluted by single use plastic” to relay my message. This piece is entirely made with plastic bags which I screen printed both the phrase and an image of the earth on fire. All the bags were sewn together to make a jacket. This was to demonstrate how reusing plastic can be used in more creative ways than we think. This “trash” was made into a statement piece.

NICZKA Red Dress

While working at a fashion design internship(NIZCKA - Chicago, IL). I was given the opportunity to create and sew an original piece for the owner’s upcoming fashion show.

"You Are Loved" Hoodie

Everyone needs to hear words of encouragement sometimes. This hoodie was designed to give the person wearing it a secret meaningful message. I sewed the oversized hoodie, screen printed the words “you are loved” and sewed on a piece of satin with geometric cutouts. This subtly show the message underneath without fully revealing what it says. No one will know the message except the owner of the hoodie, which is what matters most.
