What made you choose to study at NTU?
“I knew Fashion Design here was a really competitive and successful course with good employability.”

What do you enjoy most about studying Fashion Design?
“I enjoy the freedom in the design process and the facilities available at the University, such as print and laser cutting.”

Has the course included any live briefs?
“I really enjoyed the Fashion Awareness Direct (FAD) brief in Year Three. It gave me a platform to experiment with more conceptual design ideas and think outside of the box. It was a quick project so it was great practise for fast moving design projects.”

How do you find the course staff?
“The course staff are great and everyone works so hard. The tutors stay late and come in on some weekends to provide us with extra help. The technical staff have answers to any problems we may come across and it’s so helpful to have them there to help during the manufacturing process.”

Have you competed any work placements?
“I have worked at Anna Sui in New York as a pattern cutting assistant and also at Antipodium and Jane Bowler as a design assistant. Working in companies of various sizes has enabled me to learn about the industry and what I might want to do in the future.”

How did you find NTU’s Degree Show?
“The Degree Show experience was really exciting as it gave us the opportunity to showcase the collections that we have worked on for so long.  It’s so important to be able to showcase our work as it gives us a platform to get noticed by employers.”
