Fashion Merchandiser and Buyer for Mingle Boutique in SF

Last year I helped my friend to set up her fashion boutique on Union Street, and also I got to travel to Las Vegas as an assistant buyer to attend trade shows Magic and Project. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work too as a fashion merchandiser! Happy that friend trusted my fashion taste and asked me to come along! Awesome experience! 

Character Design for Animation Project

Happy that I have been given the chance to work on a local animation project to design characters and costumes for the animation.

It's been really fun and I am so happy that I am getting exposed to do work not only in fashion but from other art work as well. It's definitely been very fun and rewarding. 

I'm happy to continue building my own brand as a Tailor, Illustrator and Apparel Designer, -T. I. A. 

One Week Challenge- to sew 16 pieces of garments in 1 week from pattern making to final sample

I accepted the challenge to work with a local boutique store owner to design samples and to sew samples for 16 looks in one week to make it for a fashion show it was the kind of challenge I like to take on in life, and I can't believe I did it. The owner had given me 16 garments from her own wardrobe and my job was to replicate and make it into a sample. I had to start from pattern first and had to first draft block and sample cutting and then sewing. 

Was quite a painful journey of very little sleep and working 12 hours a day but challenge accepted and achieved.  I can say that 2013 has been a good year for me.
