How is my past experiences shaped my vision as a graphic designer?
My background as an international fashion model and singer has given me a unique perspective and insider’s view into the world of fashion. Having 15 years experience in the commercial industry, e-commerce in China, Ukraine, Turkey, Thailand, Los Angeles, USA, I gained first-hand experience with what works – and what doesn’t – when it comes to creative fashion aesthetics. This deep understanding of fashion shapes my creative vision as an aspiring graphic designer.
My time spent in fashion capitals around the world also exposed me to diverse design influences. I soaked in innovative street style, avant-garde editorials, and haute couture shows, synthesizing these visions into my own eclectic aesthetic. As a graphic design student, I incorporate hints of these global influences. This fusion of worldwide inspirations makes my style inherently unique.
As a model, I also learned how visuals can powerfully convey stories, personalities, and messages – all skills that lend themselves beautifully to graphic design. Where others see flat marketing materials, as a graphic design student I envision drawing out a brand narrative with thoughtful fonts, symbolic color schemes, and impactful layouts that speak to target consumers. My ability to develop stand-out visual materials comes from knowing what catches eyes from my modeling experience.
I also bring a real-world fashion industry perspective into my work. Having walked in the shoes (quite literally!) of fashion professionals, I understand their needs, challenges, and goals. This insight will allow me in my future job to craft on-point graphics and branding for fashion companies that resonate both internally and with customers. My industry knowledge makes me a uniquely valuable creative partner for fashion brand clients.
With fashion-centered training, an internationally inspired design perspective, and with huge industry experience, I have a truly one-of-a-kind creative viewpoint tailored to succeeding as a graphic designer in the fashion world. This blend of specialized knowledge and expansive influences is what sets my creative aesthetic apart now and will continue elevating my work in the future.
I am excited for my future opportunities in the fashion Industry and I am highly confident in myself and the values I can bring to my future employers.
