About

Hello, I am Wenrou Zou, a fashion and apparel design graduate based in Singapore. I studied at Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts where I completed a Bachelor of Fashion and Apparel Design and a graduation project that explored wearable narratives. I have practical experience as a fashion design assistant for running apparel, plus internships in design and studio settings, giving me a strong base in concept to production, pattern making support, and visual storytelling.

I am passionate about translating social ideas into wearable visuals and expanding my practice into broader visual creative fields in Singapore. I am fluent in Mandarin with strong English communication, enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and I regularly sharpen my skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, CAD and 3D fashion design tools. I look forward to contributing to innovative fashion and design projects while growing my global perspective.
