Executive

A lifelong interest of mine in Luxury products, Fashion, Lifestyle and Accessories. I studied for my master's degree in Leather Good and Accessory Design at FDDI, Noida, INDIA. At HiCAS in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, INDIA, I received a distinction in my Costume Design and Fashion science degree. Finished with an 87% and possessing a diploma in fashion illustration and computer-aided fashion design. A good working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw and CAD. I've always had a passion for drawing and a love for fashion, which is what led me to decide to pursue courses in the field of design since I was young. Some of my academic achievements: I was a student placement coordinator during my final year as a postgraduate student. We organized and performed at several fashion events and symposiums throughout my final year of university. A leader of the team, an active participant, and a prizewinner in several intercollegiate fashion competitions. Also won prizes in contests for fashion shows. I'm always eager to learn new things and stay current with the field. I became more active only to learn and absorb fresh notions and ideas from many sources. I had the chance to take part in the Mijwan welfare society, which was run by Bollywood star Shabana Azmi, when I was studying for my diploma at the JD Institute of Fashion Technology in Mumbai. A fashion show to showcase young designers from Mumbai's various institutes. Renowned Indian designers Anita Dongre and Manish Malhotra served as mentors and judges for the students. I created costumes with the subject "Usually unusual" in mind. I was able to pick up knowledge from the top designers at this event.
