Hi, I'm Larissa Leigh. I'm an ambitious, creative designer with a passion for innovative, trend-forward garments. I bring a deep understanding of the fashion industry, strong technical skills in hand-drawing and CAD, and an eye for fine detail to every project. I love crafting high-quality pieces that balance style with function. I practice a comprehensive planning process to guide garment construction from concept to final fit, and I enjoy collaborating with design teams, retailers, and theatre crews to turn creative concepts into tangible pieces. I'm excited to continue growing in fashion and costume design and to bring fresh ideas to future projects.
