Hi, I’m Fiona Peng. I’m a versatile textile designer, project manager, and a jack-of-all-trades based in Wellington, New Zealand. I’ve built a track record of designing high-quality work that has been nominated for international design competitions, and I love turning trends into tangible, usable outcomes. I’m energized by collaboration with other creatives and leading projects from concept to finish. My practice spans textile design, garment manufacturing for stretch and non-stretch fabrics, dyeing, pattern making, and visual storytelling through photography and illustration, all supported by strong skills in 2D/3D design, software, and production coordination.
