Fashion Designer's Pondering: Three Lessons From 2015 That I Will Take Into 2016

12/23/2015

2015 has been a great year of learning. My most cherished passions--fashion, art, and travel--have been good to me. I took inspiring fashion design classes at the Academy of Art University. I visited many a museum and gallery to see amazing pieces of art. I got to travel to interesting places in the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe. I feel grateful for the opportunities I have in my life. 

My love for art and travel feed into my fashion design and I want to take this opportunity to reminisce about three major lessons I learned from my design work during this year. These lessons will play a prominent role in my future work. 
​
1. Draw inspiration from what matters to me - I believe in looking at the world around me with intent and appreciation. For instance, when it comes to travel, I created garments and textiles inspired by China and Amsterdam and New York City. I find that designs that come out of my interests are the strongest ones. 

2. Work hard and dig deep - I like a good challenge. I sketch a dress every day and have consistently improved my fashion illustration skills. I take classes and push myself to learn as much as possible about the creative process. I have completed many fun projects this year. Digging deep pays off!

3. Stay true to myself - Sharing ideas with the world is a matter of vulnerability. Although it is scary to present a new dress or a sketch, what is the other option? The biggest lesson for me is to believe in my ideas and be proud of everything into which I have delved! I believe there is no other way but a "just do it" attitude. 

I have had so much fun sharing ideas on fashion, art, and travel with you. A huge thank you for your ongoing support! Here's to 2016 being full of beauty and creativity! New horizons are calling!
