Why I chose my major

Fashion design has been one of my interests since childhood. I enjoy creating garments and developing my skill set and ingenuity as a designer. When I decided to pursue fashion design as a career path, I knew I wanted to obtain a degree that would equip me both creatively and professionally.

What I like most about FACS

The College of Family and Consumer Sciences is great because there are many opportunities for students to learn and grow both on and off campus.

Post-graduation plans

After graduation, I plan to be a part of a design team for a clothing retailer and later develop my independent fashion brand.
