Hi, I’m Elena. I’m a 31-year-old fashion and textile designer trained at IED Madrid, with experience collaborating with international brands such as Flora Miranda, Enna Moda, Meraki Allure, and El Estudio. After a period focused on personal circumstances and regional opportunities, I kept my practice active by developing my own projects and pursuing freelance work. I’ve chosen this program for its experimental, research-driven approach and its emphasis on process and critical reflection, which mirrors how I work. I envision my career as a sustainable freelance practice in print and textile design, open to collaborations and independent projects. My creative process starts with hand drawing and rigorous visual and conceptual exploration, translating silhouettes, color, and emotion into projects that clearly convey my identity. The University of Borås’ approach feels like a perfect fit for the kind of textile designer I aim to become, and it will help me grow in areas I’m passionate about.
