About
Hi, I’m Kanishka Kumar, a fashion and textile designer based in Mississauga, Ontario. I hold an MA in Fashion at Toronto Metropolitan University and hold a B.Sc in Fashion and Apparel Design from LISAA School of Design in Bengaluru. My experience pertains to textile surface design, apparel development, and human-centred product design.
In my work, I enjoy collaborating across disciplines with designers, engineers, and merchandisers. I love exploring sustainable wardrobe strategies, wearable tech-inspired textiles, and the storytelling power of print and colour. I’m excited to bring creative energy and a hands-on design approach to a dynamic design team.
