I embarked on a career as a fashion designer—my childhood dream—after completing studies at two different universities. Over the course of eight years, I was employed as a designer across various brands—covering women’s, men’s, and children’s wear, and spanning categories such as denim, knitwear, woven garments, and outerwear. My role encompassed the entire process: from creating initial creative mood boards to overseeing the sewing of collection samples and finalizing designs for production.
