Fabrication with Textiles

I've enjoyed quilting and sewing ever since I was young. One of my first projects was a quilt I made in third grade. Working with large scale and complex projects gave me advanced problem solving skills from a young age. I design my projects with keen attention to detail. I ensure that from the initial conception of a textile project to end of life, I am meeting my target goals and producing an exemplary product. Creating 3-D garments from fabric requires a high level of precision and intricate design that has heightened my logical-problem solving skills.

Marching Band's Colour Guard Team Quilt

I designed this quilt for my high school marching band's color guard team. As team captain, I made a quilt and had every member decorate a square that represented them, we called it our unity quilt. This experience taught me the importance of building community and culture within a team.

Graduation Dress

Before my high school graduation, I purchased a table cloth from Goodwill for my grad dress. I limited myself to a set budget of under twenty dollars and the goal of recycling materials. Sewing within the constraints of both the limited materials and cost introduced unique problems to work around.

Crocheted Sweater

I enjoy learning independently and I am highly self-motivated. During the pandemic I taught myself to crochet by watching videos on YouTube. I started simple with learning how to make a simple chain, then I quickly jumped into a very ambitious sweater project.

Literature Project

Each student had to read a science fiction novel and create a project that represented the book. I choose to read the Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Each panel in the quilt is a representation of a symbolic image that Vonnegut used. This quilt was an exercise in using my creativity to design the different symbols that were relevant to the book.
