I enjoy turning creative concepts into hands-on projects that inspire students and colleagues. Beyond academia, I have worked as a graphic and packaging designer, and I’m passionate about sustainable fashion and jewelry design. I explore culture-inspired textiles and ethical production for small-batch collections, and I aim to push the fashion and design industries toward environmentally responsible practices.…I'm a fashion designer and educator with several years of experience teaching at Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia.
