Creativity/ Fashion specific Hobbies

Taking Fashion Courses at U of A- I attend the University of Arizona where I am participating in the FITS  (Fashion, Industry, Science and Technology) course. In this class I am learning different software's including Excel as well as learning about different trends/how they work and other little things here and there about the Fashion industry as a whole.


Creative with social media- Posting on social media and being creative within that realm is something I defiantly have an eye for and is something I really enjoy being creative with on my free time. Wether I am posting a new outfit piece I made, an apiece or a fun photoshoot my friends and I came up with, social media is a big creative outlet for me. 


Upcycling- I search various thrift stores to find articles of clothing or material I see potential in. Wether the garment is too large or not even a clothing item at all I use my imagination (and a sewing machine) to create an entirely new piece! 


Painting/Drawing/Mixed Media- Before attending college I went to a small visual arts school in downtown phx. There,I was enrolled in many different art classes and I focused most on acrylic painting, pencil drawing( both mostly realism), and many works of mixed media which involved collages and 3D style works often with many materials and textures.
