Available to hire
I’m TZU-CHEN YANG, a concept-driven womenswear designer with both industry and academic experience. After contributing to garment production for Polo Ralph Lauren, I pursued an MA at Birmingham City University to explore deconstruction, multifunctional design, and the dialogue between aesthetics and function. I create garments that reflect critical thinking and challenge conventional boundaries. Currently completing my MA in Fashion Design, I am seeking a junior design role within a concept-led brand that values innovation and creativity, with the potential for future visa sponsorship.
