Week 1

 ●      The person/organization you are working with (if applicable), the Capstone Project you are working on

I am working with Essie and Divine and we are basically making an apparel and jewelry brand by using old clothes and decorating with paint and screen prints and creating jewelry.

●      Why did you choose this particular project?

I wanted to work with creativity and I wanted to build on my clothing design experience and learn how to promote and sell my own products.

●      Introductions - what was your inspiration, who are the people you’re working with, etc.

My inspiration for this project was having time and structure to create designs that I found interesting as well as create custom designs community members wanted. I want to try new techniques with clothing design like painting and ironing on photos. 

●      How did you pull together this particular project?

With help from my advisor we created a plan to be on campus two days of the week so I could get more structured work done as well as communicating with my team members to get working on our designs.

●      3 goals for your senior project (set these with your mentor)

Sell at least one piece of clothing with a design to someone outside of my family

Work with new techniques and see what works best

Figure out how to manage my time and self schedule

●      1-2 images/photos
