Career Blueprint
Community Impact Goal: As a fashion designer, I feel that with enough recognition in the fashion realm I would be able to give back to the less fortunate. Growing up with not much money I didn’t have the best clothes and would often get made fun of for not having the clothes that were in trend. Because of this I had to find my own ways of looking good but on a budget. With proper funding I would possibly to create my vision and also give back the clothes I designed to the less fortunate so they can gain more self esteem and look fresh too.
Career Goal: To become a fashion designer on the side of being an Interior Designer.
Educational Path: Fashion designers typically need an associate or a bachelor's degree in fashion design. Some fashion designers also combine a fashion design degree with a business, marketing, or fashion merchandising degree, especially those who want to run their own business or retail store. Basic coursework includes color, textiles, sewing and tailoring, pattern making, fashion history, computer-aided design (CAD), and design of different types of clothing such as menswear or footwear. Coursework in human anatomy, mathematics, and psychology also is useful.
For the business aspect of fashion designing, It can be easier to build a team so that the workload isn’t as stressful. It was recommended to me that one class of business would help me understand at least both sides of fashion and business.
Designers must have a strong sense of the esthetic—an eye for color and detail, a sense of balance and proportion, and an appreciation for beauty. Fashion designers also need excellent communication and problem-solving skills. Despite the advancement of computer-aided design, sketching ability remains an important advantage in fashion design. A good portfolio—a collection of a person's best work—often is the deciding factor in getting a job.
I believe with my strong sense of creativity, and the other aspects that is needed, I can improve even more with the classes.
In addition to creativity, fashion designers also need to have sewing and pattern making skills, even if they do not perform these tasks themselves. Designers need to be able to understand these skills so they can give proper instruction in how the garment should be constructed. Fashion designers also need strong sales and presentation skills to persuade clients to purchase their designs. Good teamwork and communication skills also are necessary because increasingly the business requires constant contact with suppliers, manufacturers, and buyers around the world.
With my previous experience in learning how to use a sewing machine at a young age, this will help me in the future. And with communication skills, I have past experience with working with clients in barbering. Barbering helped me understand what a client wants and building a good relationship with them so they keep coming back in the future. Although I have this past experience there is more room for improvement I can do.
