Final walkthrough of eco-trash fashion show

Projects


Exaptive Potential (2025)

an eco-trash fashion show by ngirls collective

I was supported by the Russell J. and Dorothy S. Bilinski Fellowship at Bodega Marine Laboratory to design a fashion collection that was shown at the event Artistic Visions of Coastal Renewal on April 5, 2025. This project was a collaborative effort by ngirls collective members Sitoë Thiam, Anna Goetter, Erica Goodwin and myself.
